Sonnox Oxford Elite bundle Review


After seeing Fab Dupont demo these plugins on their website I told myself I had to have them. Been using these for 6 months now and must say these are some of the best plugins I now own. I really just wanted the EQ but after seeing all of the plugins demoed I wanted them all. I desperately wanted a new EQ plug in and Limiter. When I added the price up ala carte I decided to look into just getting the whole bundle. I got these from Sweetwater at a student discount price of $630, which is 50% the normal cost.

Pros:
The EQ is extremely smooth, flexible, and will now put my Waves R-EQ's on the bench. The reverb sounds great and having early reflections as a separate engine from the reverb tail as well as EQ makes it only better. The Dynamics section features a gate, expander, compressor, limiter, and analog warmth all in one plugin. The inflator make your track louder without increases the signal level, its truly special. I use it on everything including the whole mix. The transmod lets you control the attack of transients. The Surpresser is a De-esser on steroids. Most featured filled De-esser you will ever use. The limiter can control peaks and is very transparent.

Cons:
No dislikes. It would be cool to add EQ in the dynamics plugin so you truly have everything in one, besides that no complaints at all.

Summary:
This bundle will definitely step up your plugin game. I see myself using at least these plugins on every mix I do for now on. The EQ by far is the best I have now. After using these I truly believe they are some of the best plugins out there. You can find more info at sonnoxplugins.com
