A single-knob master bus sweetener. Free Release uses dynamics, waveshaping and early reflections to gently make your music sound clearer and more up-front. The effect is a conjunction of four other plugins from Reflex Acoustics: Proximity Encoder, PlugMaster, AutomaticDynamic and the Reflex Limiter. If you like the sound of Free Release and you want more control, check out these other devices. This is a CPU-intensive plugin—but because it's loudness-matched and largely EQ-neutral, you can deactivate it when not needed (using the controls in your DAW) without disrupting your gain-staging or sonic balance.
