Flux:: : the French specialist in audio processing and immersive sound

Flux::, French excellence at the service of professional sound

In the world of digital audio processing, few editors can claim such consistency in quality and innovation. Flux::, founded in 2006 by sound engineer Gaël Martinet, is one of those rare players that has combined technical excellence with artistic vision for nearly two decades. Born from the desire to create tools worthy of the ambitions of sound creators, the French editor has built a global reputation in three key areas: dynamic processing, audio analysis and immersive audio.

Gaël Martinet's journey is emblematic: with a career spanning major labels and renowned artists, he taught himself software development before contributing to Merging Technologies' products, the undisputed reference in mastering and post-production. This dual expertise - sound engineering and development - gave birth to a range of plugins that are now the standard in studios worldwide. Acquired by Harman International (Samsung group) in 2023, Flux:: continues to operate from France while benefiting from the power of a global audio giant.

The Pure range: compressors of absolute transparency

If Flux:: is famous, it is first and foremost for its Pure series, a collection of dynamic processors that has redefined the standards of transparency. The Pure Compressor V3 embodies this philosophy: no audible artifacts, no parasitic coloration, simply total control over the signal dynamics. With its 16 input/output channels, dry/wet for parallel compression and its morphing system between two presets, it serves both the creative mixer and the most demanding mastering engineer.

The Pure range has expanded over the years with the Pure DCompressor (decompressor), Pure Expander, Pure DExpander and Pure Limiter V3. Each follows the same fundamentals - transparency, precision, clean interface - to address a specific need in the processing chain. The Solera V3, a multi-function dynamic processor, takes the concept even further by combining compressor, expander and decompressor in a single plugin capable of simultaneously handling multiple frequency bands.

For those seeking more pronounced coloration, the Syrah V3 offers adaptive compression with a distinctly musical character, ideal for mix buses and mastering. The Alchemist V3, a true Swiss army knife of dynamic processing, provides simultaneous control over up to five frequency bands with customizable transfer curves. Finally, BitterSweet Pro has become an essential tool for sculpting transients and restoring punch to tracks that need it.

Evo Series and Elixir: virtual consoles for modern mixing

Beyond the Pure series, Flux:: also offers complete processing solutions. The Evo Channel is a virtual channel strip that integrates EQ, compressor, gate, expander, de-esser and limiter in a coherent workflow. The Evo In, its input-dedicated counterpart, is optimized for tracking with near-zero latency processing. The Studio Session Pack groups these tools in an accessible bundle, while the EVO Series Pack and Ultimate Plugin Pack offer more comprehensive solutions for professionals.

Elixir, the latest addition to the range, is a new-generation multiband processor that combines dynamic processing, harmonic saturation and stereo imaging with an interface designed for speed and intuitiveness. All these plugins are available on Green Musicians, whether as individual licenses or via complete packs that offer excellent value for money.

SPAT Revolution: the reference for real-time immersive audio

If the processing range made Flux:: famous, it is SPAT Revolution that embodies its most ambitious vision. This real-time audio spatialization software allows designing, performing and delivering immersive experiences in environments as varied as live events, museum installations, performing arts and content creation. Adopted by institutions such as Cirque du Soleil, Ubisoft, NBCUniversal and the San Francisco Symphony, SPAT Revolution has established itself as the undisputed reference for spatial audio.

Unlike proprietary solutions that lock users into a single format, SPAT Revolution takes an open, format-agnostic approach. The software supports binaural, traditional speaker configurations and Dolby Atmos-compatible workflows. Version 26.04, the latest, introduces a redesigned plugin that directly integrates the SPAT experience into the DAW, unifying immersive creation, speaker layout control and Flux:: processing into a single workflow. On Green Musicians, you'll find both the Ultimate version and the Essential version to get started in immersive audio.

MiRA: seeing sound to better understand it

Audio analysis is the third pillar of the Flux:: ecosystem. The MiRA range (acronym for Measurement, Inspection, Response, Analysis) offers measurement and analysis tools of unparalleled precision, available in four versions tailored to each need: MiRA Session for basic analysis, MiRA Studio for demanding professionals, MiRA Live for real-time monitoring during concerts, and MiRA Ultimate which groups all features together. Designed to work alongside SPAT Revolution, MiRA analyzers allow real-time visualization of spatialization, frequency response and phase of the most complex audio systems.

The IRCAM partnership: when research meets practice

One of Flux::'s strengths lies in its historic collaboration with IRCAM (Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique), the music research center founded by Pierre Boulez at the Centre Pompidou. This alliance has given birth to unique tools that integrate decades of acoustic research into plugins accessible to professionals. The IRCAM Tools suite includes Ircam Trax V3, a sound transformation processor capable of modifying a sound's morphology in real time, Ircam Verb V3, an algorithmic reverb based on physical models, and Ircam HEar V3, a binaural spatialization processor of striking realism.

The Immersive Essentials pack brings together the essential Flux:: tools for immersive production: SPAT Revolution Essentials, IRCAM Verb, IRCAM HEar and MiRA analyzers. An ideal gateway for sound engineers and creators who want to venture into spatial audio without getting lost in an overwhelming range of options.
