We've gone to great length to rethink the way people work with audio. Often you spend more time tweaking a bunch a parameters and presets, and less time just listening and responding intuitively to what you hear. We want to change that, and for that reason we've invented MINT™ - Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology.



MINT™ is a design and programming philosophy that transcends traditional “UI thinking”, and it enables you to respond fast, intuitively and with total control.

But that's not all, you get instant gratification when you work with MINT™ based tools. What this means is that whenever you alter a parameter, you will instantly hear the difference. You've probably tried working with a plug-in where you end up spending a lot of time tweaking and adjusting parameters with no noticeable effect? Stop wasting your time and get instant gratification with MINT™.

To make things real easy we've made a UI design that just makes life easier. When you choose an object in the UI, the background will automatically change, bringing all relevant information and possibilities into your immediate reach. Please look at the animated gif which will give you a rough idea about how the MINT™ designed UI will make life a whole lot easier for you.

By now you should have a pretty good understanding about what we're trying to achieve with MINT™. If not, we think you should give it a try and experience MINT™ for yourself. We're sure you'll be quite surprised to learn that it only takes a few simple controls to work intuitively and professionally with audio. And most importantly, we are convinced that you'll start to listen more closely to your audio. Don't forget that what really matters is what you hear - let your ears back into your audio!

The Fabrik C is a three-in-one plug-in featuring proven TC technology. It is divided in to three application based tools, all of which benefits greatly from the intuitive UI that builds upon the novel Meta Intutive Navigation Technology.




EQ
The EQ is a 4-band parametric EQ that gives you all the control over high- and low-pass filters. It is easy to switch between the four filter types which are Notch, Parametric, Shelving and Cut. If you're looking for a razor sharp filter, use the Notch filter which has a range as low as 0.01 of an octave. For a more gentle approach go for the shelving filter that sports a variable slope with a range from 3dB/oct over 6 and 9 to 12dB/oct. The Cut filter can be switched between a flat amplitude maximum of 12dB to an octave, and a flat group delay type. For a natural and “well behaved” bandwidth, apply the parametric EQ.




De-esser
The De-esser has been designed to do the job with as little hassle as possible. For that reason we've given it one fader and no more. This way you have instant control and direct access to everything you need. Move the S knob to what source you want, and the De-esser connects itself to that source. Once that is done, the De-esser knows what frequency it has to take care of and you don't have to worry about that. Adjusting the amount will determine how much the frequency is suppressed. It couldn't be easier or simpler.



Compressor
The compressor in Fabrik C is a Full band/3-band compressor that gives you a more versatile approach to compression. In 3-band mode, it divides the signal into three separate frequency bands, and applies the compression to each band independently. So, instead of doing the same compression on the entire signal, you can apply different levels of compression to each band, making you able to carefully pick the part of the signal that you want to work with. This is a more intelligent way of working with your material, and it even avoids quite a few side effects compared to the traditional methods. But if you prefer to use the traditional full-band method which also has great advantages, you simply just switch into that mode.
