Key Features
The Rave Generation Sonic Air is a harmonic exciter to enhance the clarity and sparkle to the top-end of any sound in your mix. This high-frequency enhancer adds sheen and presence without the bite of standard EQ boosts. An adaptive shelving filter shapes the air band smoothly, responding to your audio for a natural, open sound. Dual, transient-aware air processing lifts detail while keeping attacks intact, so vocals stay crisp and cymbals don’t turn brittle. Choose from five Harmonic Modes including Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm and Inflator, allow you to find the flavour that fits your track the most. Dial intensity with the Strength control, and use Listen Mode to audition only the processed signal for precise decisions. Ideal on vocals, synths, guitars, pads and mastering chains, with adjustable exciter frequency, dual-stage clipping, presets, undo/redo and GUI, this is the complete plugin solution for bringing out the clarity in your mix.

Sonic Air’s adaptive shelving filter lets you lift the air band without bringing up the harshness. It reacts to the incoming signal, so boosts feel smooth and musical rather than static or brittle. That makes it easy to add presence to a vocal, brighten pads, or give a master extra space, all while keeping the tone cohesive. Because the filter adapts dynamically, you can push further before harshness creeps in, achieving that analogue-style “air” without smearing detail. The result is a controlled, polished top end that complements your mix instead of fighting it.
The transient-aware dual air-band processing enhances brightness while preserving punch. By focusing the lift where it adds shimmer and leaving fast attacks intact, you maintain the snap of drums, the articulation of vocals and the edge of guitars. It’s a straightforward way to increase clarity without introducing grit or splashiness. Use the two air ranges to balance sheen and sparkle, then fine-tune the exciter frequency to target exactly where your mix needs help. You’ll hear more detail and breath without the usual side effects of aggressive high boosts.
Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm and an Inflator-style Harmonic Modes provide distinct harmonic flavours to suit different sources. Choose a gentle thickness, a soft tape-like sheen, a vintage edge, extra warmth, or a loudness-style lift that adds presence while preserving dynamics. Each mode shapes the upper spectrum differently, so you can match the character to the song rather than forcing one sound onto everything. Combined with the Strength control, it’s simple to move from subtle enhancement to more assertive colour, keeping mixes cohesive while giving individual parts the lift they need.
Dialling the perfect tone with Sonic Air is quick and easy. Simply use the Strength dial to increase the overall intensity and use Listen Mode to audition only the processed component, making it easy to set just enough enhancement. For everyday use, presets get you started fast, undo/redo encourages safe experimentation, and GUI resizing keeps the interface comfortable on any screen. Whether you’re brightening a single track or polishing a full chain, the controls are designed for reliable, repeatable results.
