Phoenix II's GUI now has an Input Trim control now with +/-10dB of range, allowing for resetting nominal input levels-regardless of their actual recorded level.
Each Type in Phoenix fills out the sound in different ways and, generally speaking, any Process level greater than about 50 will increase the output level depending on the source and the Type chosen. The new Output Trim control has a +/-6dB range and is useful when checking (A/B) Phoenix's effect using its bypass button. Having all five Types in one plug-in drastically reduces the amount of time to audition and select. Because of TDM's DSP limitations, Phoenix I was a bundle of five separate plug-ins-each one named after the particular Type of process they offered. In addition to Phoenix II's new look and redesigned GUI, all five Types are now available in a single plug-in and selectable using its Type rotary switch.
For now, Phoenix II uses 32-bit floating point math-based processing for both Native and DSP versions thus realizing an immediate 10dB lower noise floor compared to the 24-bit fixed-point math of the old TDM version.

Phoenix II is optimized for Pro Tools 10 and all future releases when that application becomes full 64-bit. It requires iLok authorization (iLok 1 or 2) and runs on both MACs (ver 1.56) and PCs (ver 1.54).īecause Phoenix II installs as both Native and DSP versions, its DSP load is easily spread between the computer's host resources and the processing provided by the new Avid HDX card(s) installed in your computer. Phoenix II is coded AAX-only and is sold as a single plug-in with both Native and DSP versions included at one price. In 2011, with the release of Avid's Pro Tools 10 and its new AAX (Avid Audio eXtension) plug-in format, Crane Song released Phoenix II. So it remained a kind of secret weapon amongst users of Pro Tools HD TDM rigs-only. Originally, Phoenix I was coded only as a TDM plug-in with no host-based versions available in 2003. Phoenix II is useful on any audio source as a subtle analog 'colorizer' or as a full-on effect-or anywhere in between. Phoenix's effect is entirely level and source dependent and comes with a choice of five different combinations of analog tape saturation characteristics called Types.
Like analog tape recording technology, Phoenix II can increase the apparent loudness of any audio track or entire stereo mixes-not just the electrical (VU) level. Phoenix garnered praise for its ability to emulate the desired and pleasing effects of overdriving analog tape in a consistent and repeatable way. Like the original Phoenix TDM-only plug-in introduced in 2003, Phoenix II is the creation of Crane Song founder, Dave Hill and like Phoenix I it was derived from his Harmonically Enhanced Digital Device (HEDD) 192 unit. Phoenix II is the latest version of Crane Song's analog tape saturation plug-in for Pro Tools.
