Different
Oxygen Types

3 different Oxygen types to help you add the exact type of top-end you’re looking for - BITE, PRESENCE and AIR.

Sculpt
Your Sound

The built-in compressor has 2 modes. PUNCH mode emphasizes the transients & increases the attack of your top-end. SMOOTH mode gives an overall softened dynamic response for a silky high end.

The CONTROL knob smartly sets the compression of the algorithm applied to the overall sound.

Add
Character

The added harmonics and imperfections in the saturation module allow for a richer, warmer high-end that can be boosted without getting tiring to the ears.

The Side Enhancer found in the stereo version of Oxygen allows you to widen the high-end of your tracks. This can work great on stereo busses, giving extra width and shimmer to cymbals, vocals or other sources.

Custom
Producer Presets

Kickstart your process with over 30 built-in presets from professional producers like Henrik Udd, Max Cameron, Forrester Savell, and more.

Choose between 2 modes of compression. PUNCH for a more aggressive sound and SMOOTH for more transparency.

3 different flavours of high-end. BITE, PRESENCE, and AIR.

Add rich harmonic tape saturation to the top end and then finalize your sound with a natural sounding stereo enhancer.

This acts like a mix knob. Feed as much silky smooth top end into your signal as you’d like by cranking the OXYGEN knob.

Kickstart your process by selecting anyone of our many producer presets.

“This is a very nice plugin and I’m really getting a lot of mileage out of it! Not normally a fan of exciter style plugins but this is doing wonders.”

"Oxygen injects life and texture to your tracks to make them feel closer. It also adds the kind of character and tone I love.....the flexibility and musicality of Oxygen is remarkable!"

At the core of Oxygen lies a smooth crossover filter with three predefined and carefully selected cutoff values, to give Bite, Presence or Air to the sound.
A compressor that consists of two fine-tuned modes which are targeted specifically to work on high frequencies. And a Control knob that is smartly setting the compression of the algorithm.
The tape saturation circuit is tuned to work great together with the high frequency parts of a signal. The additional added harmonics and imperfections allow to create a warmer high-end that can be boosted further without getting tiring to the ears.
The Width found in the stereo version of Oxygen allows to boost the side signal of a sound in a very natural way. This can work great on stereo busses, giving extra width and shimmer to cymbals or other sources.
