The Ultimate Wide Band Dynamic Processor

Solera is the result of much thought on the control of the sound dynamics, carried out for many long years by the FLUX team. How to reconcile criteria as divergent as the absolute control of dynamics, the respect of the nuances, the absence of distortion, the exhaustiveness of the parameters? How to improve user's friendliness?
Solera is the ultimate plug-in as regards broad band treatment of dynamics.
It combines four sections of treatment working in parallel and a stage of detection including unique technologies. Mainly intended for the mastering and the re-mastering, Solera also appears as fit for mixing classical music as for inserting a voice or an electric instrument. Solera is the response to all your requirements.
