Product Description

  • Sonic Surge 2 is an advanced multiband dynamics processor combining optical compression modeling with modern enhancement features. It features 3-band processing with stereo-linked optical compression in both Multiband (independent per-band) and Fullband (unified glue) modes
  • phase-coherent 24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley crossovers
  • per-band Inflator-style tone curves with expansion capability
  • transient shaping
  • tape-like harmonic saturation
  • low-frequency relaxation
  • mono maker
  • and Clip 0dB protection. Whether adding punch to EDM drops
  • controlling dynamics in complex mixes
  • enhancing individual instruments
  • or mastering full productions
  • Sonic Surge 2 delivers the character of analog optical compression with the precision and flexibility required for modern production. Features Dual-Mode Compression: Switch between Multiband (3-band independent) and Fullband (unified glue) compression. Fullband mode uniquely maintains the full multiband architecture for tone shaping and band drives while applying cohesive single-stage compression using the Hi band parameters
  • distributed proportionally across all three bands. 3-Band Optical Compression Modeling: Stereo-linked operation with musical attack/release characteristics per band. Full control over threshold (-60 to 0 dB)
  • ratio (1.5: 1 to 10:1)
  • attack (0.5-200 ms)
  • and release (50-2000 ms) per band. Phase-Coherent Crossovers: 4th-order (24 dB/octave) Linkwitz-Riley filters with adjustablecrossover frequencies (Low: 60-300 Hz
  • High: 1200-6000 Hz) and adaptive spreading to prevent phase issues. Per-Band Tone Curves: Bidirectional Inflator-style waveshaping (+50%) for harmonic density or dynamic expansion (-50%) for openness and clarity. Switchable Pre-Comp or Post-Comp positioning changes how the compressor interacts with the added harmonics. Per-Band Drive Controls: Independent band gains (-12 to +12 dB) active in both compression modes for precise spectral balance after compression. Dynamic Depth: Transient enhancement (0-100%) with soft limiting for punch and impact without clipping. Harmonic Drive: Tape-like saturation modeling (0-100%) for analog warmth and character. Low-Frequency Relaxation: High-pass filtering of the compression detector signal (0-1000 Hz) allows low frequencies to pass through uncompressed while still being processed by other effects
  • resulting in more transparent bass handling. Mono Maker: M/S processing collapses frequencies below a selectable threshold (0-1000 Hz)to mono for tight
  • focused low end. Clip 0dB: Dual-stage soft/hard clipping at 0 dB prevents digital overs. Listen Mode: Monitor only the processed portion of the signal for precise adjustment. Per-Band Mute Switches: Solo or remove individual frequency bands in any mode. Operating Systems: Windows 10/11 (64-bit) or macOS 10.13 or later (Apple Silicon native) Plugin Formats: VST3
  • AU CPU: Intel Core i5 or AMD equivalent (2 GHz or faster) RAM: 4 GB minimum
  • 8 GB recommended Host DAW: Any VST3/AU compatible DAW 1. Click Download in your Plugin Boutique Library or head to https://files.re-style.nl/ 2.
