Introducing: iZotope Alloy

[KoolZ]

Tech Features

• Six precision tools for mixing in one integrated system : Equalizer, Dynamics, Exciter, De-Esser, Transient Shaper and Limiter
• Load one plug-in for all of the essential EQ, dynamics and sound-shaping effects you need on your tracks and busses. Save custom presets and effect chains to suit any need
• Phase Tools panel includes phase invert controls, and a zero-latency phase rotation control to improve waveform symmetry
• Easy to navigate, forward-thinking UI with precise controls and extensive visual feedback for setting modules
• All modules feature useful meters that give you essential feedback for setting controls.
• Zero-latency mode prevents sync problems in hosts like Pro Tools LE
• Completely user-customizable signal routing with two dynamics stages, sidechain mapping and more
• Dynamics, Exciter and Transient Shaper have both single and multi-band operation, giving you more simplicity or more control depending on the task at hand
• Includes a huge range of presets that range from simple and useful EQ and Dynamics configurations to complex chains that use all six modules
• MacroPresets combine key controls from any combination of Alloy's six modules into a custom UI that shows just what you need to see
• Sidechaining support for VST, AU, RTAS, MAS and DirectX hosts lets you control the Dynamics section from other tracks in your mix. Affect the whole signal or zero in on just the frequency range you want with advanced multiband sidechaining
• Crosschaining allows you to trigger the dynamics section with another frequency band of the same input source for never-heard-before compression and gating effects
• Powerful workflow tools make your life simpler -- the History list lets you go back in time, and the integrated preset editor lets you browse, manage and customize presets easily
• Simple authorization lets you choose between simple challenge-response (up to 3 machines for personal use) or iLok

Oooh... they changed the name... I thought it was going to be called Echelon.

It's about time they showed some mettle

[EdRyan]

Good lord, here we come with the puns again. Time to put the usual suspects in the frame again.

Any news on the price yet....is it gonna be a steel, or are they going to brass everyone off by asking for too many golden coins?

I'm off to see if there's a demo..to see If I find anything aluminating

I think I've taken 1st price with the puns here. Lets see who can finish 2nd...and get the silver. BOOMMM !±: D

[Dave Boulden]

Oh the Iron-y

[I_Am_Bic_Pentameter]

The Fe is expensive.

Mind you, they've thrown everything into including the kitchen zinc

[sureno]

just got the email, downloaded it to try, i have to say it has THE best transient shaper that i have tried, so thats out of

SPL
Stillwell
Schaak
Flux

when i get money i will be buying this solely for the transient shaper

[EdRyan]

The Shaak one is pretty poo actually. I tried it, but preferred the one included with Logic.

I have downloaded Alloy, but I have more important things to reinstall before I try it out...

[Wilty]

I like the look of this, izotope product owners get a discount until the end of the month too...No...mustn't spend...mustn't...

[I_Am_Bic_Pentameter]

I can see the launch price dropping but the promotional Ozone users price is very good and may not go much lower for a while.

Of course, this is in part because some think there is a doubling-up and cross-over between Ozone and Alloy.

Alloy for mixing, Ozone for mastering are the pitch as they try to flog it.

[mutilatedlip]

Are they steel going to be incorporating their technologies into third party stuff?

I read about this tin another site.

[modz1]

Lads, I admire your metal..

[Wilty]

I am in ore of your lingustic comedy guys...

What's the CPU usage like?

I had a few tries of Ozone but it bent my PC over and took it roughly.
