Ruff and Jam are a duo of remixers/producers from Belgium . Jean Marie ‘Ruff' Moens and Luke ‘Jam' Mourinet met in the mid-90s, Luke coming from a DJ background and Jean Marie from a song writing background. They decided to join forces to start a production team, and have not looked back since.

Including remix credits for Kylie Minogue, the Sugababes , Sophie Ellis Bextor, to name just a few, they have fast become one of the most in demand remix duos in Europe . Currently working on mixing their own debut album for release on Sony records, they found Sony Oxford plug-ins invaluable in creatively getting the sound they needed.

The guys commented on the four plug-ins currently in the range.

 

Oxford EQ

“Impressive EQ!!! It takes you only few minut es to figure out that this EQ is from another league. Some Equalizers give you a blurred feeling of vaguely adding or removing “something”. The Oxford EQ is so precise that you can correct any material in detail without sounding processed… A MUST!!!”

 

Oxford Dynamics

“Oxford Dynamics is our new Swiss Army Knife of compression; it is amazingly efficient and versatile when it com es to mixing and we can create the trendiest effects. It's also very pleasant to hear - even with extreme settings any material still sounds musical and useable… Brilliant!”

 

Oxford Inflator

“We tried many tools to increase loudness and add warmth to some material, and for the first time, we're not disappointed. Inflator adds an extra flavour, all the proc es sed tracks sounds warm and expensive. It giv es amazing results on individual tracks as well as full mixes, so it's a fantastic mixing tool as well. It's switched in all the time by default on the main bus of our DAW.”

 

Oxford TransMod

“It works amazingly well to process all dull material and/or shape individual tracks. We use it a lot on drums, it works great to make all snares sound more snappy and it's also good at teaching good manners to bassdrums ! You can create unconventional behavior in instruments so it's great for sound design too. It is really easy to use, sounds great and offers new possibilities to control dynamics, we love it !.”
