Eventide Audio has announced the launched its new Split Essentials plugin series with two new processes: DeBoom and Sheen Machine.
Eventide introduced advanced tonal and transient splitting technologies in the Physion multi-effects plugin, then revolutionized equalization by extending the approach to the acclaimed SplitEQ plugin. In the Split Essentials series, Structural Split Technology is the foundation for task-specific, sonic sculpting plugins that break new ground for simplicity and functionality.
Power users have learned how to use the full-featured SplitEQ plug-in to repair, rebalance, reshape and enhance the low and high end of a source – capabilities now delivered by DeBoom and Sheen Machine. DeBoom tames low-frequency muddiness without losing thump and removes resonance while keeping punch. On the other end of the frequency spectrum, Sheen Machine adds tonal high end without boosting transients and makes dull signals shine by accentuating the “airy” quality of any signal without adding nasty sibilance or the harshness often generated by traditional high-shelf boosts.
With both Split Essentials plug-ins, incoming audio is analyzed then separated into transient (noise, pops, mic plosives, vocal sibilance, attacks) and tonal (sustained notes, harmonics, tone, ambiance) elements. Specially crafted EQ curves are surgically applied to the tonal layer of the source audio. The power of Eventide’s Structural Split technology is task-focused in the Split Essentials plug-ins, merging the power of SplitEQ into a single, powerful, one-knob gesture that lets engineers enhance low-frequency content with DeBoom without losing the energy of the incoming signal or add vibrance and airiness without the harshness introduced by traditional equalization techniques using Sheen Machine. The Split Essentials user interface also includes undo/redo, input gain control and built-in bypass.
DeBoom and Sheen Machine for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX) are available at an introductory MSRP of $25 USD each (regular $49 USD). Crossgrades are available from SplitEQ/Physion Mk II/Anthology XII for $19 USD each.
The offer is available at the Eventide Audio store and from distributor Plugin Boutique until December 31st, 2023.
