Intensity
The deal
$99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $149). Sale ends September 14, 2026.
What it is
Intensity is a spectral processor from Zynaptiq that draws on facial-recognition-style algorithms to boost perceived loudness, density, and clarity in a signal, all without the traditional EQ curves or compression ratios other plugins rely on. The latest version, Intensity 2, expands the original single-control workflow with three selectable processing algorithms - Crystal, Bronze, and Smooth - each producing a different tonal character, plus a frequency-dependent BIAS function that lets you target where the effect lands across the spectrum. A soft-knee saturating limiter sits at the output stage to keep peaks in check as the signal gets denser.
Who it's for
Mixing and mastering engineers who want to add punch and presence to a mix bus or individual track without stacking another EQ or compressor, along with sound designers, podcasters, and video producers looking to make dialogue and full mixes sound bigger with minimal tweaking.
