Conceptually similar to what HDR does for photography, INTENSITY 2 brings out a sound's inherent detail, increases perceived loudness, and adds clarity and bite - and is operated using essentially a single control. Between three proprietary algorithms, mid/side processing, an optional soft-knee saturating limiter, 16-channel support, and a super-fast and inspiring workflow, INTENSITY 2 is a must-have for mixing, mastering, and sound design. A massive update, INTENSITY 2 doubles down on the classic's core features and workflow, adding exciting new features and improvements across the board, including new algorithms with low CPU use and near-zero latency, support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows, more BIAS CURVE presets, mid/side processing options, and much more.

Features

  • Mastering-grade processing for more detail, clarity, density and loudness. 
  • Proprietary INTENSITY circuit with SMOOTH, CRYSTAL and BRONZE algorithms. CRYSTAL & BRONZE feature near-zero latency (3 samples).
  • Easy frequency dependent processing using our BIAS functionality and visual hover menus.
  • Additional precision soft-knee saturating limiter at the output stage.
  • Optional Mid, Side or L/R processing for stereo instances.
  • Support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows.
  • Intuitive and fast workflow using a streamlined set of controls.
  • Optional 64bit processing for the CRYSTAL & BRONZE algorithms.
  • Fully vectorized GUI with zoom up to 200%.

DETAILS

Think "Compressor"

So what IS this thing, then? You can think of INTENSITY like an infinite-band compressor operating in relative terms - whose time constants are zero, and which is controlled by a smart control system at audio rate - making it possible to adjust the process with essentially just one knob.

Or Actually, do NOT Think "Compressor"

Well, except that this description would be completely inaccurate, as INTENSITY is absolutely NOT a compressor, and works in a completely different way. There's no RMS detector, no threshold, no ratio, no attack or release time. It doesn't pump or modulate in any other way. It doesn't overshoot and it works regardless of absolute levels and input type.

That said, the compressor analogy does serve to give you an idea of when to use it and what for.

Across the Board

INTENSITY is equally suited for processing individual tracks like speech, SFX, instruments - including guitars, bass and piano - as well as full mixes, multi-channel film stems, drum busses, and other complex content. This makes INTENSITY an indispensable tool for music producers, mastering engineers, sound designers, video producers, broad/podcasters, forensics professionals, audiophiles, or virtually anyone to quickly and easily add clarity, definition, and perceived loudness to their audio projects.

Fast, Faster, INTENSITY

This plugin is probably the fastest way to get great sound. No kidding. The actual, real-world usage story goes pretty much exactly like this:

  • Insert plugin
  • Adjust INTENSITY amount
  • Try which of the three algorithms you like best
  • Enjoy the result.

In some cases, you may additionally:

  • Adjust BIAS Amount and/or Curve
  • Switch LEVEL COMPENSATION off
  • Activate the saturation
  • Try mid-only or side-only processing.

 ...that is literally it.

TL;DR - Summarize that in Plain English, Please.

OK, we'll drop the geek.

It's a high-tech thing that makes everything sound way more awesome.
Which is why we call it The AWESOME!-Knob in our offices.
Put it on everythingall of the time
Be careful, it's highly addictive.
Plain enough? :-)

NEW FEATURES IN V2

  • New CRYSTAL and BRONZE algorithms: based on our custom engineered minimum phase filter bank, CRYSTAL and BRONZE bring a sound with more bite and stronger transients to the table. Optionally running in 64-bit precision, both feature significantly reduced CPU load and near-zero latency (3 samples). The v1 algorithm is of course still included, and has been renamed to SMOOTH.
  • Support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows.
  • M/S Processing: Stereo instances can now process either the stereo signal, just the Mid channel, or just the Side channel. Using INTENSITY on the Side channel produces a lovely, huge stereo image.
  • More BIAS CURVE PRESETS: INTENSITY 2 now sports a total of 22 BIAS CURVE PRESETS, up from 10.
  • Redesigned, scalable UI: the UI is now fully vectorized, provides up to 200% of zoom, features a new help text system, and has generally been streamlined.
  • Previous/Next/Load/Save Preset can now be controlled via MIDI for improved accessibility.
  • Version 2 comes with dual activations, like all our latest releases.

Additional Information

Formats

This software is available for a variety of 64-bit formats.

On macOS:

  • Apple AudioUnits (AU)
  • Avid AAX Native including AudioSuite
  • Steinberg VST 3

On Windows:

  • Avid AAX Native including AudioSuite
  • Steinberg VST 3

System Requirements Mac

  • Apple Mac computer
  • macOS 10.15.x or newer, 64 bit.
  • Apple Silicon CPU, or Intel CPU with at least 2 Cores (i7 or better recommended).
  • Apple AU (AudioUnits), VST 3 or Avid AAX Native compatible Host software, processing audio as 32 bit float.
  • iLok.com account for machine- or iLok 2/3 based activation (of full as well as demo versions)
  • Internet Connection for Software Activation (though not necessarily on the computer used for audio)

System Requirements Windows

  • Windows 10 or newer
  • CPU with at least 2 Cores; Intel CPU recommended, i7 or better recommended.

  • Internet Connection for Software Activation (though not necessarily on the computer used for audio)

Copy Protection

This software uses the latest PACE copy protection, which allows you to place your activation on your machine or on an iLok 2* (or newer; not included). You will need a free iLok.com account to use our software, even for the the demos - but you do not necessarily need the iLok 2 dongle, if your machine has internet access (activation of a system without internet connectivity requires an iLok 2 device). All required software is installed along with our plugins, but we generally recommend downloading the latest versions directly from iLok.com.

*Please note: the older, first generation (blue) iLok is not supported!
