Cryosonic has released a pair of new VST plug-ins, Sindo – a Stereo Image Expander/Narrower with Transparent Mono-Compatibility, and newB VST – a bass enhancer and maximizer.

SINDO can be utilized to broaden and ’sweeten’ the spaciousness of the stereo image whilst retaining mono compatibility and not effecting the tonal character of the original sound.

The fatiguing ‘phasiness’ found in other processors of this type has been avoided by offering a simple three dial process. A Classic Phase-compensated ‘Shuffler’ is also included to enhance and improve the spaciousness of bass frequencies without introducing ‘phasiness.’

Features:

• Hybrid M / S Stereo image expander and narrower
• Classic ‘Shuffler’ for bass Stereo enhancement
• Very Transparent and Mono-compatible
• Minimum ‘Phasiness’
• Retaining the tonal character of original audio
• 8 custom presets
• Full automation for all parameters via the host
• Low CPU usage
• 64-bit internal precision
• 24bit/96Khz audio support
• Highly optimized custom DSP code
• Mastering, Mixing, restoration, audio post production and track sweetening

Applications:

• Transparently enhance the spaciousness of any audio with mono-compatibility
• Accurately target and re-adjust stereo level-balance
• Widen existing stereo image without artifacts
• Enhance bass spaciousness of any audio with mono-compatibility

Cost:

SINDO lists for $34.95. All previous Crysonic customers can purchase SINDO at only $19.95.

newB – Aural Acoustics-based BASS Enhancer

Crysonic also announced the release and availability of newB VST. Based on Aural Acoustic principals, newB is a bass enhancer and maximizer VST plug-in that can be used to apply from subtle to extreme bass enhancement and generation during mastering, mixing, tracking and live performance.

newB increases the perceived amount of bass by adding/mixing specific sub-harmonic content from the original bass, thereby allowing our brains to hear lower-frequencies than may exist in the original audio material. The newB process conceptually enhances the bass performance of high and low quality consumer speaker systems ranging from Hi-fi to multimedia speakers found in products such as laptops.

Features:

• 5 Bass Presence settings
• Original bass can be mixed in 100% or totally replaced
• Variable from wide to narrow band high-pass crossover filter for generating sub-harmonics
• Extremely easy and intuitive GUI
• Mastering, mixing, tracking, vocals, guitars, keyboards, virtual instruments and live performance
• 24bit/96Khz audio support
• Highly optimized custom DSP code

Applications

• Add bass sub-harmonics to enhance the perceived bass response of speakers
• Sharpen, shape, augment and rectify the bass content without effecting other instruments
• Extend the perceived frequency response of a speakers beyond their limits
• Enhance bass presence during live performances

Cost:

List price – $34.95. All previous Crysonic customers can purchase newB at only $19.95.
