OOMPH Multiband Dynamic Enhancement Plugin for Electronic Music

Introducing OOMPH: Multiband Dynamic Enhancement

OOMPH is a versatile multi-band dynamic enhancement plugin designed to maximize the punch, clarity, and impact of your sounds. By splitting the audio signal into four flexible frequency bands, users can independently control saturation, balance, dynamics, and stereo width for each band. This makes OOMPH suitable for refining individual sounds or applying cohesive tone shaping on mix and master buses.

Flexible Frequency Band Processing

The plugin divides your signal into four bands, each with independent processing paths and controls. You can link bands for simultaneous adjustments or treat them separately for detailed sound design. Key controls include:

Features

• Saturation level adjustment per band to create louder, richer sounds
• Curve control to shape saturation character, from bright coloration to enhanced bass
• Clean, modern compression to manage dynamics and transient shaping
• M/S stereo width control to expand or shrink the stereo image
• Final limiting stage with slow, neutral release for cohesive finishing
• Up to 16x oversampling for aliasing-free, high-quality processing

Dynamic Saturation and Stereo Enhancement

OOMPH offers dynamic saturation controls such as “Inflate,” “Curve,” and “Clip” to inject energy and warmth into your tracks. These emulate valve-like harmonic qualities, enhancing loudness while preserving sound purity. The Width control allows seamless transitions from mono to stereo, including Haas effect widening beyond 100%, ensuring mono compatibility and immersive listening experiences across playback systems.

Applications in Mixing and Mastering

Whether used on individual tracks or master buses, OOMPH helps achieve loudness and clarity with its state-of-the-art lookahead limiter. The “Pump” and “Release” settings provide professional dynamic control, while bypassing the limiter can yield a warmer, vintage feel. This plugin is compatible with major DAWs and supports VST2, VST3, AU (macOS), and AAX formats on both Windows and macOS platforms.

OOMPH supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Intel and M1 macOS systems, including native and Rosetta 2 operation.
