混音:放大
意大利兄弟 Alessandro 和 Andrea Vinai 以其动感十足的 Big Room EDM 音乐而闻名。十多年前,他们以音乐制作二人组的身份相识,如今已签约 Spinnin’ Records,并在 Beatport 排行榜上占据主导地位。作为 DJ,他们举办的俱乐部之夜场场爆满,吸引了来自世界各地的派对爱好者。现在,他们终于将自己的制作才华和独特音色带入软件领域,推出了这款功能强大的压缩插件。这款与 W. A. Production 合作开发的创新产品历时一年多,将 VINAI 的音乐带入您的个人工作室。
XTT 与 VINAI 的合作理念:
“我们一直热衷于提升混音技巧和声音处理能力,这款插件是我们多年来在自身作品中使用的音频处理链进行测试的成果。
在音乐混音和制作中,增益控制是最重要却又最容易被忽视的环节之一。XTT 真正理解并有助于解释这一过程的重要性。
由于现在几乎所有 DAW 都是混合式的,制作人经常会犯一个常见的错误:在将音频发送到 VST 之前忘记控制增益控制。
大多数制作人认为只要主通道不削波就万事大吉,但事实并非如此。假设你的第一个 VST 输出是 -1dB,然后经过一个饱和器处理,并在 +5dB 处发生削波。如果你将主通道的电平降低 -5dB 来补偿,你可能会认为一切正常,因为没有削波。但这是一种错误的做法,因为你没有对输入电平进行正确的增益控制,导致插件无法正确处理声音。”最有效的方法。
还有一个问题:当你下载新的预设包或扩展包时,你会发现现在的趋势是给用户一个非常大的输出音量,以使插件看起来更强大。如果你知道如何控制这个音量,那当然很好,但大多数人在进入下一个插件之前并不会先降低音频电平。这意味着插件无法正常工作,因为它接收到的信号已经过强。
XTT 通过可视化输入源的音量解决了这个问题。然后,你可以根据自己的喜好调整电平,并且借助一项独特的功能,你可以“链接”输入和输出增益补偿,从而保持声音的质量和特性。
5 段压缩器
这款五段压缩器会将音频信号依次通过低频、中低频、中频、中高频和高频频段,每个频段都带有可调节的分频点。每个频段都有其独立的可调阈值和增益补偿旋钮。这些设置赋予您对压缩信号无与伦比的控制力。您可以直观地拖动阈值和分频点来塑造声音,同时实时查看频率分析仪显示的调整结果。
精细化塑形:
五个频段中的每一个都配备了可选的精细化塑形部分,用于控制特定频段的具体参数。您可以独奏该频段、将其静音、调整 RMS 值、起音和释放时间,或者调整中频/侧频信息。
向上和向下压缩:
通过独立的控制,您可以同时调节向上和向下压缩,最高可达 200%。这可以实现声音塑形,例如平衡人声音量或抑制鼓的瞬态,同时提升房间混响的音量。这两种压缩方式也带来了更多创意可能,例如突出瞬态的爆发力,或凭空营造出空间混响。
时间
旋钮:要快速轻松地调整所有 5 个频段的起音和释放时间,请使用“时间”旋钮。此旋钮会对所有频段进行时间调整,方便您预览更精细的频段起音和释放设置可能产生的效果。
限制器:
无需使用第三方限制器,XTT 内置的砖墙限制器可为信号添加独特的饱和度,而不会引入不必要的失真。其透明特性可通过可调节的“提升”设置进行微调,以确保输出音频尽可能强劲响亮,同时又不牺牲声音的保真度。
联动输入/输出推子:
增益控制是有效插件处理的关键因素。因此,输入和输出推子可以联动,这样您就可以在控制输入 XTT 的信号的同时,保持对输出音量的控制。在您微调设置时,电平表可精确显示输入和输出信号。密切关注电平表,调整压缩值,有助于保持声音的理论响度。
旁通和主混音:
旁通控制经过平滑处理,尽可能减少咔嗒声和爆音,以便进行无干扰的 A/B 测试。您可以通过中央的混音比例控制,将压缩信号与原始音频混合,从而降低压缩比以实现并行效果。
视觉反馈
实时频率显示功能可实时呈现信号在压缩器每个阶段的动态变化。这使得您可以精确监控 5 个频段以及信号链中的每一步。
预设:
内置众多预设,助您轻松找到理想的压缩起点,开启您的专属压缩之旅。每个预设都拥有独特的功能和精心设计的设置,可用于各种音频素材,即时预览丰富的创意效果。从细微的音色塑造到强劲的饱和压缩,应有尽有。当然,您也可以保存自己的设置。WA

Mixing: Magnified
Italian brothers, Alessandro & Andrea Vinai, are known for their hands-in-the-air Big Room EDM sound. Coming together as a music production duo over a decade ago, they are currently signed to Spinnin’ Records and dominate the Beatport charts. In their careers as DJs they host sell-out club nights and pack in partygoers from all around the globe. Now they finally bring their production talents and distinctive sound to the software realm, with this versatile compression plugin. Over a year in development, this innovative collaboration with W. A. Production brings a piece of VINAI into your own studio.
Behind the concept of XTT with VINAI:
“We’ve always been passionate about enhancing our mixing techniques and sound processing and this plugin is the result of years of tests with audio processing chains that we’ve been using on our own productions.
One of the most important and underrated things in music mixing and production is gain staging. XTT really understands and helps to explain the importance of that process.
Since pretty much every DAW is now hybrid in operation, producers often make this one common mistake; forgetting to control the gain staging before sending audio to a VST.
Most producers think everything is fine as long as you don’t clip your master channel, but that’s not the case. Let’s say that your first VST output is at -1dB, and then processed through a saturator and clipping at +5dB. If you apply a master channel reduction of -5dB to compensate you might assume everything is fine as there’s no clipping. But that’s the wrong approach, as you haven’t gain staged the correct input level to allow the plugin itself to properly process the sound in the most effective way.
There’s a further problem; when you download a new preset pack or expansion you’ll notice that the trend is to give the user a very loud output to make the plugin seem more impressive. If you know how to handle this volume then that’s great but most people don’t trim the audio level before entering into the next plugin on their chain. That means that the plugin isn’t working as intended because the signal it’s receiving is already too hot.
With XTT we solved this issue by visualizing the input volume of the source. You are then able to trim the level to your preference and with a unique feature, you can ‘Link’ the input and output gain compensation, preserving the quality and character of the sound.”
5-band Compressor
The 5-band compressor passes your audio through low, low-mid, mid, mid-high and high bands, all with adjustable crossovers. Each band has its own tweakable threshold level and make-up gain dial. These settings give an unparalleled level of control to your compressed signal. Intuitively drag the threshold levels and frequency crossover points to shape your sound, all whilst watching the real-time frequency analyser display the results of your adjustments.
Surgical Shaping
Each of the 5 bands has an optional surgical shaping section to control the specifics for that particular band. Solo it, mute it, adjust the RMS, the Attack and Release or tilt the Mid / Side information.
Upward & Downward Compression
With independent controls, upward and downward compression can be dialled in simultaneously – up to 200%. This allows for sound-shaping fixes, such as balancing vocal levels or clamping down on drum transients whilst simultaneously bringing up the level of the room ambience. Using these two types of compression also offers up creative possibilities, emphasising the splashy explosiveness of transients or creating room tone out of thin air.
Time
For a quick and easy way to scale up the attack and release times of all of the 5 different bands, use the Time dial. This applies timing changes across the board, useful for previewing what might happen with the more surgical per-band attack and release settings.
Limiter
No need to use a third party limiter as XTT’s built in Brickwall Limiter adds unique saturation to the signal, without introducing unwanted distortion. It’s transparent behaviour can be dialled in with an adjustable Boost setting, to ensure that your outgoing audio is as punchy and loud as possible without sacrificing the fidelity of the sound.
Linked In & Out Faders
Gain staging is a really important factor in effective plugin processing. With that in mind, the Input and Output faders can be linked, so that you can tame the signal going into XTT whilst simultaneously keeping control of the output volume. The meters allow accurate visualization of the incoming and outgoing signal whilst you finesse your settings. Keeping a close eye on the meters whilst you tweak your compression values makes it easy to preserve the theoretical loudness of the sound.
Bypass & Master Mix
The bypass control is smoothed to be as click and pop free as possible for unhindered A/B testing. Choose to mix the compressed signal with your original raw audio via the central Mix ratio control, allowing you to dial down the compression ratio for parallel effects.
Visual Feedback
The real-time frequency display shows exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through each stage of the compressor in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring for each of the 5 bands and at every step of the signal chain.
Presets
With many included presets, it’s easy to find the perfect starting point for your own compression adventures. All with distinct uses and expertly-designed settings, these presets can be used on all sorts of different audio to instantly preview a wide range of creative effects. They include everything from subtle shaping to more full-on saturated compression. And of course, you can save your own settings too.
