01Overview

Phantomix takes a different approach to dynamics: instead of discarding the subtle detail and transients that a conventional compressor removes, its Dynamic Splitter isolates those elements and sends them into a set of effects. The developer describes the result as a way to recycle sonic detail rather than lose it. The plugin combines reverb and delay, saturation and distortion, chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo, and a precision EQ and filter section, all designed to process only part of the signal.

Selective Processing: Sound and Character

The core of Phantomix is the Dynamic Splitter, which separates the prominent parts of audio from the subtle parts so that each can be routed to its own processing. Reverb and delay are applied only to the selected elements, which the developer says adds atmosphere without cluttering the mix.

Saturation and distortion work the same way. They can enhance transients with saturation or limiting while leaving the rest of the signal untouched. The EQ and filters follow this logic too, so tonal corrections affect only the targeted part of the signal, aiming to keep the original character intact.

Modulation, Bit Depth and Workflow

The modulation suite includes chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo. Like the other effects, they can be applied selectively to add depth and motion while keeping the mix clear.

Phantomix processes internally at 64-bit and supports any sampling rate. Smart Bypass is latency-compensated and designed to avoid clicks and keep phase alignment during automation. The resizable 3D interface adapts to screen space, and a CPU-saving sleep mode reduces load when no processing is needed.
