DYNAMICS

Overview

dynamics

Keeping your levels in check was never easier

Dynamics can be used to give an aggressive oomph to your leads. Try it in Multipass for multiband processing.

Dynamics processing featuring upward and downward compression as well as expansion. Thresholds and ratio are controlled by clicking and dragging on the visualization in the upper part of the plugin interface. The visualization shows how input levels are mapped to output levels by the dynamics processing. The current input and output levels are marked in the visualizer by a moving disc.

Parameters

Low Threshold

Low threshold for upwards compression and expansion.

Low Ratio

Ratio of upwards compression or expansion below the low threshold.

High Threshold

High threshold for downwards compression.

High Ratio

Ratio of downwards compression above the high threshold.

Attack

Adjusts attack time.

Release

Adjusts release time.

Knee

Smoothes the knee of the compression curve across the thresholds.

In Gain

Adjusts gain for the incoming signal.

Out Gain

Adjusts gain after compression.

Mix

The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.
