Is Oxford Inflator a limiter?

The Inflator is not a limiter and operates on a completely different principle. It doesn’t compress or affect transients or dynamic range in any sense like Oxford Limiter does. Instead, Inflator is a static distortion generator that enhances the harmonic content in a way we associate with loud sounds.

Where does Oxford Inflator go in mastering chain?

I usually put it just before the limiter – it’s not a dynamics processor as such, so if I use it in the mastering chain I usually have a gentle compression, the inflator, then a limiter. It works quite well as an insert on drums, too – just make sure the “effect” setting is all the way down, and give it some wellie.

Is Oxford Inflator a compressor?

The Inflator is neither a compressor nor a limiter, so you won’t get any of the pumping effects associated with compression. All of this is achieved through the clever introduction of harmonic distortion and, if you drive the input, that leads to saturation.

Is Oxford Inflator a soft clipper?

Established Member. Just bear in mind that the Inflator is not a true limiter. You can get “loud” and the Inflator has some decent “soft” clipping as well as hard but I can’t think I’d ever just use the Inflator and no limiter.
