Rave Generation: Sonic Surge 2

Multiband tone shaping
Rave Generation: Sonic Surge 2
Advanced multiband dynamics and enhancement plugin with dual-mode compression, 3 detection modes, per-band tone shaping, and tape-like saturation. From transparent mastering to punchy bus glue.

Features

  • Dual-Mode Compression (Multiband/Fullband)Switch between independent 3-band compression and unified fullband compression (driven by the Hi band parameters) while keeping all multiband tone-shaping tools active.
  • 3 Detection Modes (Stereo/L/R/M/S)Stereo for tight linked compression, L/R for independent per-channel dynamics with added depth, M/S for Mid/Side encoding with wider, more spacious compression behavior.
  • Modern 3-Band Architecture4th-order (24 dB/oct) Linkwitz–Riley crossovers with adaptive spreading provide phase-coherent splits for precise, musical processing + 6 dB/oct slope.
  • Per-Band Tone Curves & GainsLoudness-shaping positive curves or dynamic expansion (negative), plus independent Lo/Mid/Hi GAIN dB controls, active in both compression modes.
  • Flexible Compression ControlsPer-band Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release in Multiband; in Fullband, the Hi band's controls govern unified dynamics. Real-time GR meters included.
  • Transient Enhancement & HarmonicsDynamic Depth adds punch with soft limiting; Harmonic Drive adds tape-like warmth and richness.
  • SC HPF, Mono Maker & M/S BalanceHigh-pass the compression sidechain for natural bass (SC HPF), collapse sub-bass to mono for tight translation, and control stereo width with M/S Balance (±1.5 dB).
  • Smart Safety & MonitoringClip 0dB (dual-stage soft/hard) prevents digital overs; Listen Mode monitors only the processed contribution; DRY/WET blends global parallel processing.
  • Versatile ApplicationFrom mixing and mastering to live sound reinforcement and creative sound design, Sonic Surge 2 adapts to subtle enhancement or bold transformation.
