What is BoostX™?

BoostX™ is a completely transparent upward-compressor, also known as parallel compression,  based on the Non-Linear Sample Remapping technology developed for LimitX™.

As a bonus, BoostX™ also provides limiting!

What is Upward Compression?  While traditional (downward) compressors reduce the volume of levels over a certain threshold, Upward Compressors increase low levels while not increasing the high levels.  The simplest way to think of it is that downward compressors push down on the signal from above.  Upward compressors push the signal up from below, so the softer parts get louder without affecting the loud parts.  To most people's ears, this sounds much more natural than downward compression.

BoostX™ Non-Linear Sample Remapping Technology

Building on the non-linear algorithm developed for LimitX™, I was able to allow upward boost of 0db to 9.5db while keeping control of the top end. It does this while preserving the frequency content, and without any pumping or noticeable artifacts. Others claim their plugins are transparent, but BoostX™ actually is transparent! Download the free trial and hear the difference for yourself.

Like LimitX™, BoostX™ works so well, that I have been using it for some time now. And I have been continually refining it to the point that that this new enhanced version is now available.

Pricing--- BoostX™ is now free! It is my way of giving back a little.

Download BoostX™ and try it.
