I.C.E. is a De-esser, a frequency band specific Dynamic EQ, a frequency band specific Compressor, and a De-distortion plugin –all in one great plug-in for Mac and Windows.

If you never have any problems with your Audio Projects, Then I.C.E. may not be for you. But in reality, there are always technical problems that range from subtle to critical and even some that are potentially fatal to the project.

Problems might include:

“Bad" distortion
“Hot spots”
Over modulation
Sibilance
Resonant bass frequencies
Overload
Digital harshness
Intermittent vocal distortion
Out-of-control cymbals
A generally unpleasant overall tone
Other offending audio elements

The new Software Plug-in from Sonic Studio and Legendary Audio

Removes or reduces distortion in recordings
Cleans up audio problems including overload, distorted instruments and vocals
Eliminates harshness, imbedded distortion, and other recorded audio flaws
Available now as AU/VST/AAX for OSX and Windows VST

Distortion, especially of the digital type, is a huge problem in audio today. It is very easy to get a “warm” microphone, a “warm” preamp, plug-in, mixing console, and other software.

“Warm” translates to generally “good” distortion (like cholesterol, there is good and bad distortion), but by the time the audio gets to the mixing or mastering stage, it is too warm (too much distortion) and it needs some I.C.E. (I.C.E is cool).

I.C.E can counter the distortion and clean it up by reducing or eliminating the distortion AFTER it has already been recorded and processed. This is just one of the important uses of I.C.E. It can be used to attack the aforementioned list of common audio problems.

After Mastering the project, you and/or your client notice these problems on the stereo Master

There is one bass note that resonates and is louder and several notes that are lost and inconsistent
The snare tone is too “tom-ish “or too bright or too loud or has too much “hand-clap"
The vocalist distorts in one or more places in the recording
There's too much sibilance (hot s’s or t’s), or hi-hat, or crash cymbal, or over-all cymbals
There is intermodular distortion as the wave forms clash in the low mids
A song is too bright, or bassy, or has too much mid-range compared to the other songs
The Kick Drum has too much Low end (but the bass guitar is fine)
The over-all Highs are harsh
The vocal is buried in a few places in the song
The recording sounds more digital than Analog
The prominent Auto-tune vocal effect warbles and distorts in 2 places in the recording
The recording needs more “air” or Sub-bass
The Piano fills and solo which are panned to the right are too loud
The snare or vocal is too quiet in the mix
There 's an unpleasant “plastic/digital tone” on the High mid frequencies from using plugins with latency (and a mixture of different latencies) when the recording was mixed or recorded
There are 4 places in the recording that the purposely distorted guitar, panned to the left side, over-distorts for I beat in each instance
Too much room resonance in the live recording...

What can you do?

In the right hands and ears, I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) can correct all of the above in a few seconds (or minutes for the complicated issues) with zero latency, no artifacts, and transparent sound.

These are actual recent problems / requests from Billy Stull's Mastering clients. He was only working with 2 track stereo Masters (not individual tracks). Not just for distortion and Mastering, I.C.E. on individual multitracks cleans up and "sculpts" to your heart’s / Audio’s content.

Billy Stull has 50 years in the business - worked with Rupert Neve, Norman Petty, Warner Bros., Andy Johns, etc. and has recorded/mixed/mastered thousands of projects and has been Mastering for 20 years. He's taught Mastering since 2006. Using his experience, he has innovated this plugin collaboration with Sonic Studio to help share these tools with the mastering community.

 

Tips from Billy Stull (The Impossible Made Possible, or is it MAGIC?)

A well know band from Mexico, after reviewing the Master of their new single, loved it. Their only request was to take a little bottom end off of the Kick drum but not any off of the Bass Guitar. Using I.C.E., I accomplished the request in about 10 seconds.

A well-known Brazilian Pop artist asked on one song to reduce the high end of the snare drum on one song by 25% - without changing anything else on the vocal or other elements in the mix. I accomplished the request in about 10 seconds. I had already used I.C.E. to make the bass guitar consistent.

An artist that won record of the year last year from the ELO fan club (which I Mastered) asked me to reduce/cleanup four 1 second swell/peaks of the purposely distorted guitar solo on the left side only. I accomplished that in about 3 minutes of identifying the frequency bands and automating the I.C.E. settings.

These were all Stereo Mastered songs, not individual tracks or stems. These requests from these successful professionals would have been impossible or at least difficult, time consuming, and requiring some compromise without I.C.E. Attention to small details factors in greatly to their success. My ability to do the previously impossible factors in to my success.
