There is a PROCESS amount that can be thought of as a dry/wet control. The output trim control can be used to attenuate the signal to avoid clipping if such a scenario arises or can even be used to give the signal some gain, post processing. Since this plug-in is program dependent, driving the input level higher will result in more saturation. There is an INPUT TRIM and OUTPUT TRIM control to vary the amount of saturation. Phoenix II has five different analog tape saturation algorithms labelled Luminescent, Iridescent, Radiant, Luster & Dark Essence, each having its own unique characteristics and also a three level brightness control labelled Opal, Gold, & Sapphire, that shapes the upper harmonic content. It is said that digital recordings are too sterile or lack warmth and this plug-in is developed specifically to tackle that issue by bringing in that warmth via some very carefully plotted, variable harmonic distortion.

Phoenix II is an updated version of the very popular tape saturation emulation plug-in developed by Crane Song for Pro Tools 10. Suffice it to say, Dave knows a thing or two about the analog domain. He has had years of experience working on creating electronics for tape machines & is now also known for developing hardware like the HEDD 192 which is an AD/DA converter with variable levels of harmonic distortion, commonly seen in many high-end mixing as well as mastering studios. Some of you will know Dave Hill, the creator of Phoenix from his work with Avid on the HEAT(Harmonically Enhanced Algorithm Technology) system for Pro Tools HD and HDX. Phoenix by Crane Song is one such sought-after plug-in that has only been available to TDM users ever since its inception, but now the sequel to this plug-in is available as a Native AAX plug-in as well. Not to undermine Avid's audio interfaces, but I do appreciate the flexibility of not having to only use their converters.Īlong the same lines, a lot of third-party plug-in developers are now creating native versions of their Pro Tools HD only plug-ins. Ever since Avid broke the link between their audio interfaces and Pro Tools Native, I have found myself using this DAW more than ever.
