Description : Next-generation compressor plugin with anti-derivative anti-aliasing (ADAA)
Experience a new era of compressor plugins
Three-Body Technology Cenozoix compressor is named after the Cenozoic era,
a time of mass mammalian advancement after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Packed with innovations and features, this mixing
and mastering plugin leads the way in a new era of compressors.
Get the Sound of 12 Classic Compressors
Cenozoix includes compression algorithms for all the main production elements,
including Drum, Vocal, Bus, and Mastering, as well as algorithms that
recreate the sound of vintage compressors like Black FET, Blue FET, Vintage Opto, Virtual-Mu,
and more, providing the perfect balance of usefulness and versatility.
This compressor plugin can handle all your compression needs,
from tight and modern sounds to powerful vintage charm.
Apply distortion-free compression to your mixes
Super-fast attack and release times can lead to unwanted distortion
when using existing compressors. The Cenozoix compressor uses a warping mechanism
to avoid these distortion effects, making it the best choice for peak and sidechain compression.
Use it to tame harsh snare transients or create bass lines
that swing with your hit.
Reduce aliasing at low CPU load with ADAA
Traditional anti-aliasing methods aimed at preventing high-frequency distortion
rely on heavy CPU oversampling. Anti-derivative anti-aliasing (ADAA)
is an audio processing method developed by Native Instruments, originally used for waveshapers.
Instead of relying on oversampling, it uses advanced mathematics
to reduce aliasing without putting a heavy load on the CPU. Cenozoix Compressor
is the first compressor plugin to include ADAA.
Provide Natural and Responsive Peak Compression
Many compressors use a static release time, catering to short
or long transients, but not both. The Cenozoix compressor’s peak comb feature
dynamically adjusts the release time based on the transient nature of the input signal,
providing natural and responsive control over dynamic peaks.
This makes it a great choice for complex signals running through your vocals, guitar, drums, and stereo bus.
Get full control over the compression envelope
The Cenozoix Compressor plug-in features a peak detector for fast transient response
and an RMS detector for smooth compression. Using
these detectors in parallel combines their strengths, providing both immediate response
and consistent compression suitable for complex audio material.
You also have the option of using pure peak or RMS detection,
which is best suited for individual track elements.
Possibilities :
• 12 compression algorithms that recreate the sound of classic compressors
• 12 compression algorithms for common use cases
• Distortion-free compression
• Anti-derivative smoothing (ADAA)
• Dual peak and RMS detection
• Dynamically adjusted release times
• Odd and even harmonic generation
Changelog :
v1.1.1 (October 24, 2024)
Bug fixes
• Fixed a bug due to which dialog boxes were displayed incorrectly in some cases.
