What would the intro to Pink Floyd’s 'Wish You Were Here' have sounded like without those moody string machine chords? Can anyone imagine 'Oxygene' without the swirling tones imparted by the Eminent 310 and Small Stone Phaser? Likewise, what would Lonnie Liston Smith’s 'Expansions' have sounded like without that effervescent Solina?
Sonnox Oxford Plugins: Sonnox Oxford evolved out of a group of dedicated audio professionals who first worked together in the early 1980s. Having spent many years designing analogue and digital consoles for a leading British manufacturer, five engineers started a new Company in 1988 which was called Oxford Digital. Over the subsequent years the team slowly expanded, until in 1993 it became Sony Oxford.
One of Sony Oxford's major product designs was the OXF-R3 Digital Mixing Console, or 'Oxford Console' as it's often called. This huge undertaking, a no compromise high end digital audio system, was conceived by Oxford Digital in the late 1980s and productised for release by Sony in the mid 1990s. Virtually everything, including audio DSP chips and software design tools were designed at Oxford since, at that time, it was impossible to buy DSP technology with enough power.
As times and techniques moved on, and technology became cheaper with increasing power, we began to focus on how we could leverage the Oxford technologies into audio workstations. We became a development partner with DigiDesign and began work in order to create the Oxford EQ for Pro Tools. At the same time, we started work on the infrastructure for our e-commerce scheme which would be instrumental for sales and registration of our new software products ...

Designer Dave Hill has always had an interest in electronics, and started designing and building devices at an early age. He was building synthesizers from scratch and started doing professional level sound recording and equipment maintenance at a local music store while still in school. After high school Dave decided to pursue a career in electronics and enrolled in a course at a local community college. After his first semester he was asked by the college to take over teaching the course. He taught for 8 years and continued his involvement in pro audio.
To date Dave has been doing studio and film sound recording since 1972. He has also been involved in film post production. Early in the 1980's Dave was asked by a used equipment dealer if he could design a tube compressor that would have the sound of the older tube type devices and still be clean enough to compete with modern devices. The result of this request was the Summit Audio TLA-100. Due to the success of that design Dave Hill went on to design and set up the manufacture of all Summit Audio products until September of 1994 at which time Summit Audio was relocated the manufacturing to California. From 1984 to 1994 Summit Audio grew from a single product and one employee working out of the basement of Dave's home to a full product line and over a dozen fulltime employees ...
