Dynamics

To calm the wild ups and downs of danceable sounds on one end, the other holds pulsing levels in check and smooths dynamic waves with a steady hand.wizardFX Dynamics are both yin and yang, working with naturally impulsive spikes and as equalization for different volume levels, depending on the desired sound. Experiment with individual parameters, as part of the coreFX Suite.

• wizardFX: VolumeFormer For pads that rise and fall rhythmically and basses that pulsate to the beat of the kick drum – that’s the wizardFX VolumeFormer is at work, providing gating and sidechaining without any complicated routing.
• wizardFX Compressor: The wizardFX Compressor is designed to keep the dynamics in check without losing control. It adjusts loud and quiet passages and adds more punch to rhythm instruments.
• wizardFX Limiter: In order to limit excessive level peaks, the wizardFX Limiter cuts off the peaks of an audio signal almost inaudibly and losslessly to help achieve more loudness. This makes it ideal for mastering purposes in the last position in the signal chain.
• wizardFX Gate: Reduce noise and ensure clear signals: The wizardFX Gate helps to keep noise at bay during vocal recordings and reduce cross-talk when recording with several microphones. Also perfect for creative stutter effects! 

Coloration

More character, more color, more pressure! wizardFX has it all: Use the Tape Machine for analog warmth or fat overdrive. The Bitcrusher offers authentic lo-fi sounds and the Tube Distortion ranges from light oversaturation or punchy distortion. Tape Machine, Tube Distortion as well as Compressor and Gate are equipped with auto input gain: This warns if the input is too low or too high and can set the level to the optimal level in just one click. Discover the diverse range of creative possibilities for audio in the new colorFX Suite!

• wizardFX Tape Machine: Subtle variations in pitch give tape recordings their nostalgic charm. Additionally, tape saturation produces more overtones in louder signals, adding that extra drive.
• wizardFX Bitcrusher: Looking for that authentic lo-fi sound? By reducing the bandwidth of the audio to lower sample and bit rates (e.g., 22 kHz and 8-bit), the wizardFX Bitcrusher is able to create distortion ranging from vibrant to aggressive.
• wizardFX Tube Distortion: The sound of analog tube amps in the digital world. Tubes are not only warm, they also sound warm thanks to harmonious clipping. Well-suited for enhancing different instruments and vocals. 

Modulation

The courage to change is always rewarded – modulated sounds ensure a strong impression and will attract attention. Accentuated with delays, luscious thanks to chorus and striking using flanger effects. Nicely wrapped in reverb, rounded out for the perfect mix.
