Slate Digital’s Fresh Air plugin is PJ Gibbs’ Software Product Of 2020, he explains why.
Billed as dynamic high-frequency processor effect plugin, Fresh Air is part Exciter, part EQ, with some Parallel Compression and Saturation thrown in for good measure.
I tend to steer clear of aural exciter plugins and opt for traditional EQ, but there is something unique about Slate Digital's Fresh Air software plugin. It has excellent tonal quality and it imparts character on various elements in your mix, that you couldn't get from EQ alone. It's super lightweight on CPU too, even when pushed to its limits.
Fresh Air has serious audio and advanced dynamics processing behind its simple interface, and it's instantly usable. Add smooth, crisp top end to vocals, beats, keys and piano, lead lines, one shot samples and works a treat across your master bus. All without adding a single ounce of harshness.
And the best part? Fresh Air is FREE, but only for a limited time, so grab your copy while you can.
I've included some audio examples so you hear the difference Fresh Air makes.
