PHOENIX II is an AAX plug-in for native and DSP that is designed to put analogue colour into the digital domain by increasing apparent loudness without increasing gain (e.g., by modelling analogue tape compression).

Luster starts more gently than the other four processes, but becomes as aggressive as Dark Essence when the process is at full scale.

(The effect is a colour with a wider frequency range-when used on a vocal Dark Essence can reduce sibilance problems by increasing the apparent loudness of the rest of the signal)

Radiant is characterized by a more aggressive compression curve.

This plug-in is the most similar to the tape knob on HEDD-192

Iridescent has a similar magnetic character, but with a fatter bottom and midrange.

Luminescent is the most neutral sounding process of the five.

The PHOENIX II suite contains five separate plug-ins.

This can be useful on material that is hitting close to or at digital zero. The input trim can also be used to prevent clipping in the rare cases where clipping may be a problem. A level control determines the amount of the Phoenix process integrated into the audio signal, and an input trim determines “how hard you hit the tape.” Because the DSP process is level dependent, reducing the input level will also cause a change in sound. The Gold button is the position where the color is approximately flat in frequency response, with Sapphire being a brighter, and Opal being a warmer tonality. Five different TDM plug-ins emulate different tape characteristics, each one incorporating a color change button allowing three choices to modify the process. The Phoenix suite is not merely a down-scaled version of the Crane Song HEDD processor, but a ground-up application derived from HEDD technology, and specifically engineered and optimized for Avid’s TDM architecture.

The Phoenix process not only incorporates the nonlinear saturation characteristics created by magnetic the tape itself, but also includes the interrelation of an analog tape recorder’s record/reproduce electronics and equalization curves. His intimate knowledge of analog electronics, as well as decades of experience as a recording engineer has spawned a very useful, musical suite of plug-ins.
