{"product_id":"thermite-vst","title":"THERMITE: Mix Enhancer Plugin","description":"\u003cp\u003eTHERMITE is a mix enhancer plugin for electronic music. Your mix sounds fine on headphones and disappears on a club system. THERMITE is what closes that gap: three knobs that add weight, impact and top end, with a ceiling that holds no matter how hard you push.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut it on a kick and the hit comes forward. Put it on a drum bus and the whole kit gets louder without turning to mush. Put it on the mix bus and it glues. Techno, house, drum \u0026amp; bass, hardstyle, whatever you make. If it needs to hit harder, this is the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree knobs. That's it.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOWER\u003c\/strong\u003e is drive. It's how hard the engine gets pushed, and it scales everything the other two do. Barely there on a master, mid-range on a kick, wide open on loops that are supposed to sound mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePUNCH\u003c\/strong\u003e is weight and impact. It fills out the low end and reinforces the attack of every hit, so kicks come forward instead of getting flattened. It's what you'd reach for a transient shaper for, without the transient shaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHINE\u003c\/strong\u003e is brightness and air, generated rather than boosted, so hats and clank cut through without a shelf. On stereo material it opens the top end slightly. Mono sources stay mono. It never smears the phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThings you'll notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt sounds the same however hot you feed it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most saturators change character when the input gets louder. You dial in a sound on a quiet loop and it turns to mud on a hot one. THERMITE references its drive to the programme level, so the character you set is the character you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ceiling is a ceiling.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set it where you want it and you land under it. Every time, at any MIX setting, on any material, at any sample rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel-matched A\/B.\u003c\/strong\u003e One button brings the processed signal down to the level of the dry one so you can judge the sound instead of the volume. Louder always wins a blind comparison, and this is how you take that out of the equation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can see what it's doing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The analyser draws your input against the processed output, waveform or spectrum. The shaded band between them is exactly what THERMITE is adding. Move a knob and watch where the energy goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHQ when you need it.\u003c\/strong\u003e One button raises the internal processing quality for the hardest settings. Leave it off while you arrange, switch it on when you render.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e28 presets that go somewhere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSorted by where they belong: Kick, Bass, Drum Bus, Percussion Bus, Synths \/ Leads, Mix Bus, Master Bus. Load one, move POWER until it does what you want, get back to the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVST3 and CLAP on Windows.

Two computers per licence, Mac and Windows in any combination, and you move it between machines yourself whenever you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActivate online once. After that THERMITE works offline: trains, planes, studios with no wifi, it doesn't matter. Your key arrives by email right after you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe demo never expires. Between the interruptions you're hearing exactly what the licensed version sounds like at the same settings, so you can decide with your ears before you spend anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHERMITE is a mix enhancer for channels, buses and the master bus. It is not a mastering suite and doesn't pretend to be one.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDarkground Records.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built in the studio, tested on the dancefloor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darkground Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55188211073353,"sku":"DGR-THERMITE-100","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/9410\/4649\/files\/Thermite_VST.png?v=1788519853","url":"https:\/\/darkgroundrecords.es\/products\/thermite-vst","provider":"Darkground Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
