Equalizer
As essential as EQ is to mixing, why do so many EQs force you to work with tiny graphs or clumsy knobs? Alloy's powerful 8-band EQ combines exceptional sonic quality with precise controls and a large spectrum overlay that gives you the best visual feedback of any EQ available.

• Enter EQ settings visually or with precise numerical values
• Choose from Low Shelf, High Shelf, Peak, Lowpass, Sharp Lowpass, Highpass and Sharp Highpass modes for each band
• Soft-saturation emulates analog EQs for a natural sound when pushed hard
• Alt-click and use your mouse to solo and zero in on problem frequencies

Exci(IMG:http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/alloy/images/exciter.jpg) ter
Alloy's Exciter features new Harmonic Scaling technology that lets you add gentle saturation to your tracks by emulating the sounds of tube pre-amps, tape, and other hardware devices in a unique new way. It's perfect for adding subtle character to everything from vocals to strings to drums.

• Blend between different Harmonic profiles including Tube, Tape, Transistor and more with an XY pad
• Switch to Multiband mode to apply color to different frequency ranges independently
• Unique spectrum meter shows you which frequencies are being affected by the Exciter
• Integrated stereo width control allows you to narrow or widen different frequency bands

Transient Shaper
Shape percussive sounds and more with Alloy's simple and powerful Transient Shaper module. Add more "stick" to a snare, make a kick drum less boomy, or even apply Transient Shaper to hammered or plucked instruments to fine tune their attack character. Try Multiband mode for unmatched shaping of more complex material like drum loops and busses.

• Perfect for shaping drums and other percussive sounds
• Concise controls let you boost or cut the attack and sustain portions of transients with adjustable time values
• Adjust sounds in different frequency ranges with powerful Multiband mode

Dynamics
Smooth out vocals or slam your drum buss with a Dynamics module that combines the best characteristics of analog and digital compressors. While many "vintage emulated" dynamics plug-ins are useful on only some material, Alloy can switch between tasks with ease. And with advanced sidechaining and a multiband mode this is sure to become one of the most versatile mixing tools in your arsenal.

• Vintage mode combines a forgiving multi-stage release curve with program dependent characteristics; Digital mode provides clean, linear compression
• Gate/Expander provides gating and even upward compression effects
• Sidechaining lets you trigger the Compressor or Gate from external sources– even to individual frequency bands in Multiband mode
• Crosschaining lets you trigger dynamics processes on one band with audio from another, for completely new gating and ducking possibilities
• Two dynamics stages for parallel compression effects
• Soft Knee, RMS, and Auto-gain modes; single or multiband operation

De-Esser
Tame vocal sibilance and harsh high frequencies in other instruments. Alloy's De-Esser lets you zero in on sibilant frequencies with a simple-to-use spectrum graph. It's perfect for transparently reigning in vocals, cymbals and other high frequency problem spots.

• Spectrum meter with solo control helps you set the De-Esser quickly and easily
• Multiband mode affects just the sibilant frequencies; Broadband mode affects the whole signal based on the sibilant band.
• Control over De-Ess attack and release times

Limiter
Alloy's Limiter module acts as a zero latency loudness maximizer for busses and tracks, automatically adding gain as you pull down the threshold. Or use it to keep a lid on your levels with a simple and efficient Brickwall limiter.

• Brickwall mode for keeping peaks under zero at all times; Soft mode for more forgiving, smooth limiting
• Phase Tools panel lets you optimize the symmetry of vocal and instrument waveforms to get more overall loudness
• Zero-latency mode ensures your tracks and busses stay in sync, even in hosts without effective latency compensation

MacroPresets
Some plug-ins come with five or ten presets. Alloy comes with over 150 presets designed to give you the perfect starting point for a broad range of mixing tasks. MacroPresets customize Alloy's display to show you just the sliders and meters you need for the task at hand, giving you powerful preset signal chains with simple controls, making each preset feel like its own custom-tailored plug-in.

• MacroPresets combine the most useful parameters and meters for a preset into one useful view.
• Over 150 presets included covering individual instruments, ensembles, busses, utility tasks, broadcasting & podcasting, post production and more.
• Create or customize your own MacroPresets that show custom configurations of controls in Alloy's Macro screen.

bin gspannt, werd ma mal `s Demo besorgen.

"Alloy is available as a download-only option for $249 USD. It includes Alloy and a complete electronic help system. "

auch dieses von izotope gefällt mir sehr gut, schön übersichtlich aufgebaut, man kann schnell vergleiche anstellen und die einzelnen module durchsteppen, genau so muss es sein

Die Tube klingt auch wirklich gut und haucht dem material wärme ein

die presets sind praxisgerecht und zu gebrauchen

[pol/tox]

die Presets sind auch beim Ozone, Trash und Spectron ziemlich brauchbare Startpunkte. Hab das Gefühl, der Alloy und die neue Uhbik-Reihe (bin von den Demos sehr begeistert) könnten das Geld mehr als wert sein.

Yeah, heut mal testen z'Haus! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[pol/tox]

hab mir das Teil bereits besorgt... ziemlich geil, v.a. der Klang! Is die Euros aufjedenfall wert gewesen. Hab vorrangig den EQ verwendet, der schlägt in Punkto Klang und Funktion zumindest die Pro Tools eigenen um Längen (vorausgesetzt man steht auf leicht einfärbende Plugins).

Bis 31. Okt. gibts den Spaß mim Ozone im Verbund für zusammen net ganz €300, womit man für an fetten Sound mehr als nur gewappnet ist =)

wie schauts aus mit cpu usage, latenz, und echtzeitanwendung?

[pol/tox]

Auf CPU-Auslastung hab i jetzt net gschaut, hab aber ca. 10 Instanzen (als RTAS in Pro Tools) auf 10 Spuren ghabt, hat net merklich gebremst. Wie`s jetzt im Live-Betrieb aussieht weiß i no net, werd aber damit mei Live-Set zu veredeln versuchen, dann weiß ichs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Delegoano]

kann ich euch gleich sagen: im live betrieb mit 2 Minimoog instanzen, und einem weitern HiQ-Softsynth bei 6 Spuren (6 Alloy-Instanzen) auf folgendem System: 2x4 ghz P4, 3 gb ram... fahrt mir mein arrangement mit Hall leider in die Knusperzone... ich hör nur noch berstende Cornflakes... zieht also schon etwas auf die substanz

Klanglich jedoch TOPNOTCH... damit schaff ich im Live genau den Klang, den ich sonst nur aus dem Fruity rausbekomm. Seidenweiche Pads, fette dynamik-bearbeitung...

Das Ding ist sein Geld mehr als Wert....

[pol/tox]

dem kann i nur beipflichten, beim Mischen hab i immer wieder die Spuren bouncen müssen, damits net zu sehr ruckelt... ansonsten supergeil meiner Meinung nach, Izotope halt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

oh mann das sieht echt gut aus das tool, muss ich mir auch holen.
auf izotope ist echt verlass. das merkt man auch schon daran wie die tools
von denen aussehen. ist einfach optimal gestaltet und den schönen klang den
man da rauskriegt kriegt man sonst nirgends.
izotope olé !
