Devious Machines – UrsaDSP Boost v1.5.11 for WiN

Boost’s unique, revolutionary design lets you control the dynamics of your tracks with incredibly low distortion.

Use the Boost feature on tracks, groups, and the master bus to increase volume without changing EQ or phase.

Add the Emphasis function to highlight transients. Adjust the Focus control to emphasize low-frequency detail with Low Limiting, or improve the stereo imaging of tracks with Mid-Side Mode.

Characteristics

• Ultra-low distortion for incredible sonic transparency.
• Prevent sample-to-sample overlap.
• Focus smoothly shifts upward toward a brick-wall-style limiter.
• Stereo imaging in mid-side projection mode.
• Character-specific control and emphasis modes.
• Preserve reverb tails with the maximum gain control.
• Parallel compression.

Precise volume and peak control

Unlike other limiters, with Boost you don’t have to sacrifice mix character for volume. Boost’s unique Trajectory technology ensures clear, distortion-free sound.

Or, if you’re looking for character, use the Emphasis control to boost the psychoacoustic loudness of transients without increasing the peak level. This allows you to independently adjust perceived loudness and peak level for the first time.

Eliminate clipping with True Peak Control

No matter how much you reduce the gain, clipping will not occur.

The Boost feature can even eliminate intersample distortion. This is what causes DACs to distort signals, create artifacts during compression, and unexpectedly limit volume on streaming platforms. True Peak Detection* eliminates intersample distortion while maintaining the ultra-low distortion characteristic of Boost and without changing the sound of your mix.

Trajectory and the Future of Dynamics

Despite the advent of digital signal processors, most compressor plugins still use 60-year-old technology. Some plugins have added predictive analysis, but they still operate on the same basic principles, with all their limitations, distorting transients.

Trajectory returns to its original purpose—audio level control—and employs new techniques that are only possible with modern digital signal processing. Instead of constantly adjusting to sudden changes in sound, Trajectory anticipates them and creates the correct curve for smooth and harmonious sound processing.

With the Boost feature, you can separate volume from distortion. You don’t have to impose a distinctive sound on your mix just to match standard volume levels—you decide how your music sounds.
