Read MoreThe basic elements that make up π & φ are the actual numbers π and φ, omnipresent throughout our surrounding living environment.
Pi & Phi utilizes the harmony of these magic numbers in order to introduce an innovative way of spectral processing, creating an acoustic effect that can be described as “super-enhanced”, with a warm yet powerful “sparkle”.
Pi & Phi MkIII features 10 bands that cover the frequencies from 80 Hz up to 16KHz, along with a “Super Low” and a “Super High” band to complement the extremes of the spectrum.
This tool is ultimately capable of enriching a mix and each of its separate components with minimum phase distortion, enabling the user to precisely shape the spectral balance as dictated by the Golden Ratio.
Pi & Phi also stands out for its “demasking” capabilities, as it is exceptionally suitable for making an instrument or vocal track ‘cut-through’ and stand-out from the rest, in an otherwise cluttered mix.
“The first reaction I had to Pi and Phi was essentially ‘where have you been all my life?’ Pi and Phi takes my mixes and brings them across the finish line – I can add subtle or drastic EQ across the frequency spectrum, and regardless of how extreme I get it still sounds natural, phase-free, and not overstated…””

Read MoreIt offers 3 different types of Analog Tape, as well as 3 different types of distortion.
The resulting effect simulates the saturation of analog tape, in a controllable environment which can be adjusted according to your preference.
The user can choose among 3 different types of Analog Tape, each corresponding to the noise and saturation characteristics of 3 different well known tape brands.
3 distortion types are also available, enabling the user to produce the harmonic content/distortion one would get by overdriving certain Tube or Transistor circuits.
“The 413 is another great plug-in from friends MIA Labs.
The subtle saturation-to-increased-drive can really breath life into
an otherwise dull mix or individual instrument, and focus elements upfront.”

Read MoreIt is a handy tool for sound design, as well as a sophisticated saturation unit.
All the controls are carefully selected with workflow in mind, enabling the user to quickly achieve the desired result, while retaining the versatility of the plug-in and allowing space for experimentation.
Combining Compression, EQ and Saturation, allows control of the dynamic range and harmonic content of the sound, creating a unique spectrum of capabilities on the saturation effect.
“The 980 offers incredible colour variations and attitude for my mixes.
MIA are hitting it out the park. A must have… I love it. Now you try it !”

Read MoreThe 358 Enhancer is a single-stage, ‘straight-path’ process allowing control of the bass/treble frequency balance of a stereo mix or mono channel.
It can be used in many applications requiring from slight to more drastic frequency balance correction, but unlike a conventional EQ or filter, the 358 uses internal multiband phase processing. This results in a more dynamic, realistic frequency content which is adjustable with two main controls for constructive (boost) process, folding at the classic 150Hz (LF) and 2.4KHz (HF) frequencies.
The internal process includes a detection stage based on the analog envelope detector circuit, first introduced in our 925 Compressor
In addition, the ‘Phase-Compensation’ mode (PHASE COMP. button) applies a fixed process to the whole bandwidth of the program material, for stereo image enhancement on two-channel mix or mix-buss applications. This ‘phase-deviation’ process has been developed carefully as a one-way stereo signal conditioning and enhancement, especially for sounds which are ‘panned’, or containing instrument-position information. It improves the perceived soundstage and definition of each source or instrument, without altering significantly the frequency or dynamic content of the processed audio.

Read MoreDesigned using physical modelling principles, based around the classic ‘feed-back’ topology in hardware circuit-design.
The 925 side-chain detection stage is based on the analog envelope detector circuit.
Key design design features include:
When used in extreme settings on sounds with long sustain, it can produce a distortion effect. This happens when due to the high speed of the detector, it follows the actual waveform instead of the envelope of the program material.
After a lot of consideration it was decided not to exclude setting range, as the process is very much program dependent. Instead the user is given full control, since even if some settings will not be suitable for a specific material, often they are perfect for a different situation.
This is often the case in hardware vintage and modern equipment, and has resulted in the 925s’ very broad range of compression characteristics, esp. suited for main-mix applications but also buss-mix or multiple separate channels.
