12/20/192CAudio Releases Vector
Vector is a spatial image analysis tool that helps producers and engineers make more informed decisions during mixing and mastering. It helps you to detect and avoid spatial threats such as extreme anti-phase while avoiding false positives that are sometimes given by other tools. It allows you to confidently expand your mix in any spatial direction with advanced psychoacoustic spatialization tools such as 2CAudio's Precedence 1.5 and PBJ System, while also maintaining awareness of mono-compatibility for legacy playback systems. Vector displays a large, beautifully-crafted Lissajous phase-meter together with long-term average level, phase, and panning meters. It also displays large numerical values for the long term averages together with more instantaneous values to instantly give you a full and accurate picture of exactly what is happening in your mix spatially.
Vector is a free gift to the audio community. It's our way of giving something back to an industry we are passionate about. We hope it may help augment general knowledge of spatial mixing topics and assist producers and engineers to make even more engaging audio creations where listeners can truly feel emersed in the music.
11/25/192CAudio Releases PBJ Spatial Mixing Environment
The PBJ Pack is a Spatial Mixing Environment that combines sublime psychoacoustic positioning and industry-leading algorithmic reverb into a unified and intelligently adaptive workflow. It introduces a unique system of multi-instance editing and inter-plugin communication that allows potentially hundreds of linked plug-in instances to function as a unified acoustic space, where each instrument can occupy its own unique position within this cohesive virtual acoustic environment.
The PBJ Pack is comprised of Precedence 1.5, Breeze 2.5, and 4 Breeze Preset Expansions.
The PBJ system is a new paradigm in spatial mixing. It pairs direct sound spatialization and positioning with an adaptive multi-instance reverb environment that automatically tunes itself to augment the positional imaging established by Precedence. Achieving a cohesive spatial mix with individual track seperation, defintion, and perfect depth placement has never been this easy!

11/25/192CAudio Releases Precedence 1.5 and Breeze 2.5
Precedence 1.5 is a psychoacoustic stereo positioning tool. It creates an organically modulating stereo-image that produces an instantaneous sense of width, depth, and presence similar to stereo microphone techniques used in acoustic spaces. It then positions this image within a virtual stage, giving mix engineers ultra precise control over left-to-right and front-to-back placement. The end result is an incredible sense of hyper-realistic 3D space and specific localization of each instrument within this space.
Breeze 2.5 is an industry-leading algorithmic reverb that is ultra-efficient, simple to use, and most importantly sounds absolutely sublime. In its most recent version, it has also grown to become one of the most powerful spatial tools on the market! Breeze 2.5 introduces a completely novel Distance-Link DSP mode, where the entire algorithm retunes itself based on instrument position, effectively producing a different set of impulse responses for an infinite number of positions within the virtual room.
Precedence 1.5 and Breeze 2.5 are part of the new PBJ Spatial Mixing Environment Pack, as well as the Perfect Storm 3.5 Pack.

01/20/152CAudio Releases Kaleidoscope
It's a trip! Kaleidoscope is the ultimate sound-design tool and creative effects toy! It is an entirely new class of visual audio effects processors and is one of the most unique generative signal processing tools to come to market in recent history. Technically speaking, Kaleidoscope is a massively parallel bank of physically modeled resonators that can be tuned completely arbitrarily with scientific precision and dynamically modulated over time by over two million points of automation. In simplistic terms, Kaleidoscope uses pictures to control sound!
Kaleidoscope is both an effects processor as well as a content generator, meaning that it is possible to synthesize completely new sounds without any input sound or MIDI performance data as well as to transform incoming audio signals in other-worldly manners. Music is organized sound. The organization occurs in two axes: time and frequency. Kaleidoscope is a tool that offers ultimate control over musical organization in both of these domains and adds a third axis of creative control we like to call spatial choreography. It is designed with one goal in mind: to inspire and invigorate composers, sound-designers, and artists to push the boundaries of what is possible in cutting edge sound-design.

Regardless of whether your work is in rock, pop, orchestral, electronic, or more intimate acoustic styles, you owe it to yourself to check out these presets. Existing Breeze customers can pick these up for $24.95. It is also now part of the Perfect Storm 2.5 bundle and existing Perfect Storm 2.5 customers can add it to their collection for free.
