3. Oxygen plugin by Black Salt Audio
Oxygen plugin is also a very impressive plugin, the ability to shape transients of the sound, add compression, and interact with the high end of the input signal. Normally, we use the EQ and saturation plugins to add certain characters to our sound, but Black Salt Audio claims that this plugin adds special characters to the sound that you can’t get from any EQ plugin. This plugin is a combination of different effects.
1. Bite, Punch, and Presence mode
If we take a look at the plugin then at the top of the plugin we see that there are three modes bite, punch, and presence. Let us talk about them.
These are the three EQ modes that offer different curves of EQ to be applied.
1. Bite mode.
This mode of the oxygen plugin is designed to act on the high-end frequency range of the sound. It adds a suitable punch to the sound that is noticeable by any common person’s ears. In this way, it makes the sound more clear and upfront. This mode is specially used for the vocals, cymbals, and drums, This mode makes the sound cut through the mix.
2. Presence Mode:
Well, if our vocal has a nice top end but the mid and low ends are small, then our vocals may sound unnatural and radio-like sound. To handle this problem, the oxygen plugin by the Black Salt audio has the presence mode. This mode acts on the mid-frequency range of the input signal. It provides a nice body and strength to the signal. Normally, when we play with mid-frequencies on our own, we may face distortion issues. But this plugin avoids that issue with its algorithm. This mode can be used to make any sound more prominent in the mix, especially on the guitars and snares.
3. Air Mode:
This mode of the oxygen plugin acts on the top high end of the sound. Normally, we estimate that this mode acts on frequencies that are above 10k. A mixing engineer known as Sean Divine says that boosting the frequency above 10k can make your 3D. Usually, mix engineers use the term known as brightening. This term is specially used to boost the frequencies above 10K. This mode can be used to add air to vocals. Looptorrent will recommend you use this mode on the wet signal of the reverb, and you hear the magic,
