ROGER NICHOLS DIGITAL UNIQUEL-IZER
Uniquel-izer LE offers superb sonic quality with an intuitive user interface at a very affordable price. Uniquel-izer LE uses the same advanced algorithms as its big brother, but with a fixed number of seven filters. Price: $69. NAMM booth #1003.

ROGER NICHOLS DIGITAL DETAILER
Detailer is a stereo mastering process developed by Roger Nichols and used in countless hit records. Detailer offers a new way of increasing the perception of "detail" in the mid-level of a final mix while still allowing increased loudness. The process involves a combination of 3-band limiting and dynamic widening using psycho-acoustic processing. Roger Nichols has fine-tuned the process to produce the most-effective result with the least amount of adjustment. Price: $349. NAMM booth #1003.

The plugs are fully compatible with Digi’s ICON and VENUE consoles inside Pro Tools 7. The graphic EQ utilizes Rane’s Perfect Q technology to eliminate band interaction forcing your response curve to follow the slider positions on the screen precisely. The 10 parametric EQ bands can be moved through the entire frequency range; all are switchable between high/low shelf and bell filters. The dynamics plug-in offers a compressor, limiter, gate, ducker, expander and de-esser. NAMM booth #6958.
