{"product_id":"freqport-freqlift","title":"Freqport - FreqLift","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreqLift\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dynamics and saturation plugin from Freqport that combines two-band upward and downward compression, FreqTube tube saturation and oversampled clipping in one processor. It's built for making vocals, drums, synths and full mixes sound denser and more detailed without simply squashing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs entirely in software. Owners of a FreqTube FT1 can switch its saturation stage over to real tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/freqport-freqlift-advanced-splitband.jpg?v=1794474213\" alt=\"Freqport FreqLift plugin in Advanced view with split-band LOW and HIGH dynamics controls\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpward dynamics: lifting the quiet bits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional compressor turns down what's loud. FreqLift can also work the other way, using upward dynamics to bring up what's quiet: room ambience, the tail of a note, the texture between the transients. Downward dynamics are there too for keeping the louder passages in check. The result is a sound that feels bigger and more alive rather than flattened, which is a different thing from what most compressors give you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo bands, linear-phase split\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal can be processed full-band or split into LOW and HIGH with a linear-phase crossover, so splitting it doesn't smear the phase around the crossover point. That matters in practice. You can keep a bass part tight and lightly treated while lifting the air and detail up top, or bring out the body of a snare without dragging up the cymbal wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFreqTube saturation and clipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the dynamics comes the FreqTube stage, the same circuit-modelled tube processing used in FreqTube FT1-EMU, adding harmonic density and colour. Then there's an oversampled clipper with soft and hard modes for catching peaks, tightening transients or pushing things into more aggressive territory. Having all three in one place saves a lot of plugin-chain juggling, and the stages are clearly designed to work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple or Advanced\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple mode gets you results from a handful of controls. Advanced mode opens up the split-band settings, expander attack, release and ratio, and tube bias. A wet\/dry mix covers parallel use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreqLift suits anyone who finds that normal compression makes things louder but not better. It's particularly good on vocals and acoustic sources that need detail brought forward, drum buses that want more room and body, and pads or synths that sound thin in the mix. If all you need is transparent peak control, a clean compressor will do; FreqLift is about adding density and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiband upward and downward dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo independently processed bands, LOW and HIGH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision linear-phase crossover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreqTube tube saturation and harmonics (Digital EMU mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced oversampled clipping with soft and hard modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple and Advanced modes, with expander attack, release and ratio in Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet\/dry mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional real tube saturation with FreqTube FT1 hardware (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSystem requirements\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emacOS (64-bit) or Windows (64-bit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVST3, AU (Mac only) and AAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiLok activation (free iLok account required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOUND7 is an authorised Freqport reseller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital delivery: licence activation code sent by email.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pHpWAfLel_w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Freqport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57758924964213,"sku":"1561-1001","price":54.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/freqport-freqlift.png?v=1794474214","url":"https:\/\/sound7.com\/products\/freqport-freqlift","provider":"SOUND7","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
