Rave Generation Sonic Air

Sonic Air is a high-frequency enhancement plugin designed to add clarity, brightness, and harmonic depth to your mix.

Use it to shape transients, boost air bands, or apply harmonic saturation with control and precision.

The interface is streamlined for quick adjustments while offering flexibility for both subtle and more noticeable changes.

Five Harmonic Modes provide distinct saturation styles: Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm, and Inflator Mode.

Each adds harmonic content while maintaining the dynamics of your original signal.

The Strength control adjusts the intensity of the exciter effect, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Listen Mode lets you solo the processed signal, helping you focus on fine-tuning your settings.

An adaptive shelving filter dynamically responds to the incoming audio, offering smooth and natural high-frequency shaping for a clean and open top end.

HF Exciter

Enhances high-frequency content to add brightness and presence to your mix.

The HF Exciter parameter allows fine-tuning of the exciter amount to achieve the desired level of enhancement.

HF Start

Sets the cutoff frequency for the HF Exciter, allowing precise control over which frequencies are affected.

Mid Air and High Air

Provides dynamic enhancement for the mid and high-frequency ranges, adding air and clarity. These controls adjust the intensity of the enhancement, bringing out details in your mix.

Strength

Controls the intensity of the dynamic enhancement applied to the exciter bands.

Higher values result in stronger and more aggressive harmonic processing.

Harmonic Mode

Selects between different harmonic saturation modes for high-frequency enhancement, including Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm, and Inflator.

Transient Enhancement

The plugin automatically applies transient enhancement to high-frequency content, making percussive elements and other transient-heavy sounds more prominent without adding harshness.

This internal feature ensures that your mix retains clarity and impact.

Integrated Clipping Control

Includes a dual-stage clipping mechanism to prevent digital clipping and maintain pristine audio quality at high output levels.

This feature combines soft clipping, hard clipping, and soft limiting to ensure the output does not exceed digital zero, providing both protection and a pleasing analog-like distortion.

Listen Mode

Allows users to isolate the processed high-frequency content for detailed adjustments.

Internal Dynamic Enhancement

The plugin uses an internal dynamic enhancement technique that applies soft clipping to add harmonic distortion.

This processing step adds warmth and character to your mix, making it sound more analog-like and musical.
