December 2002 - BBE® Introduces New Sonic Maximizer® Plug-in
Now Supports PC Version of VST Platform

Following on from the success of its first plug-in, BBE Sound Inc has launched a new version of its critically-acclaimed Sonic Maximizer plug-in employing revised code to support more platforms. In addition, this is the first Sonic Maximizer plug-in to be offered in music and pro audio retail stores. Now supporting both Mac and PC VST platforms, as well as Direct X, the new BBE plug-in allows unlimited user-definable presets, real-time preset changes and full MIDI implementation. The unit also has a new GUI which recalls the graphics of BBE’s new 482i and 882i models, on which the plug-in is based.

BBE Product Manager, Judd Levison, comments: "Owning the Sonic Maximizer Plug-in is the equivalent of having a rack full of BBE 882i units with automation, just the thing for processing multiple tracks simultaneously. The most important thing in developing the Sonic Maximizer algorithm was to accurately capture the quality of our fourth generation Sonic Maximizer processor featured in our 482i and 882i products. The most encouraging comment we hear from users is that the Sonic Maximizer plug-in is true to the rack mount 482i and 882i units they’ve come to depend on, retaining all of the warmth, punch and clarity that our analogue processors are renowned for."
