In the Sonalksis plugin thread a while back, I mentioned Flux plugins (new
in the VST arena, but seem to be well respected in the Pyramix market). I
have them in house for review and just thought I would pass on some early
observations for anyone interested.

Very, very nice plugins. Nice GUI, easy install (usb dongle doesn't require
extra drivers, registration, etc - just install, plug in and go), and work
great in Nuendo 3.2 and Sequoia 8.3. The comp is very controllable, and
more flexible than most. Both the EQ (Epure) and comp (Solera) are very
transparent and smooth. These are designed as mastering plugins I believe,
but work great on a lot of sources, including vocals. The multifunction
comp (Solera) comes with 4 capabilites: compression, decompression,
expansion and de-expansion - these can work interdependantly. In addition,
there are separate plugins for each comp section as well in the Pure series.
Each plugin can morph between two presets for finding just the right
combination, or automating a change between the two - very smooth sound when
morphing.

I'm sure they will have a free demo in time - worth watching. I'll post a
link when the review is done. There's a lot more to cover there - lot's of
recallability and features that you don't find in other plugins.

Regards,
Dedric

It’s been a while since I spent any time on a Pyramix system and I do remember
the compressor being excellent, but today I have been playing around with
the Flux Solera+ and it is exceptional. I like it better than the Sony Dynamics
compressor on almost everything I’ve tried it on and the Sony had previously
been my number one choice. (Not counting hardware.)

Demos now at:

I agree - Solera is a fantastic comp for a lot of uses - it's my goto comp
now as well.

I would be interested to hear your impressions of ePure as well.

Dedric
