The second reason is the sweeping feature. In school I learned that “less is more”, and if you are inexperienced in mixing, by zooming on the graph, you can “limit” your cuts and boosts to how much of the graph you can actually see. The equalizer is probably my favorite module to work with for two reasons: 1) You can zoom in on the graph of the EQ and control how much you are boosting or attenuating with each band. Simply download the demo, activate with your key (no iLok required), and you’re good to go. I’ve been using Alloy 2 for about 6 months and I have not had a problem yet. I prefer Logic Pro X, but if I want, with Alloy 2’s compatibility, I can use inside of Pro Tools, Studio One, or any other DAW on the market. Parallel compression is very big in hip-hop, and with Alloy’s two compressors, it’s easier to do that without copying the signal to another track because you can mix in the “wet” signal of each. The eight bands are more than enough for me to clean up my clients’ vocals without having to grab any other plug-in. I can handle all of my dynamic processing within this one plug-in. I currently use Alloy 2 mainly for mixing vocals. If you can afford it (and need it), I highly recommend purchasing the bundle that includes Alloy 2 and Ozone 6. For the amount of plug-ins that come within Alloy 2, the regular price of $199 is very moderate compared to other plug-ins I either have or have considered purchasing. You can view and work on all of these modules at once in “Overview” mode, or click on each module separately to get a clearer picture of what you’re doing. Among the modules are a graphic EQ, two separate compressors, an exciter to help give your audio that extra spark, a transient shaper,de-esser, and a limiter. Whether you are a beginning mix engineer or a well seasoned professional, this plug-in is a “one stop shop”. I enjoy mixing with Alloy 2 because it is super user-friendly. I got it bundled with Ozone 6 as an investment for the mixing and mastering services I offer. I bought Izotope’s Alloy 2 close to graduating college for Music Production last year.
