Details
Dynamics III is an exciting new addition to the free collection of DigiRack™ plug-ins included with all Pro Tools® and Avid® picture systems. The plug-in suite includes a Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser, each in an easy-to-use interface. Dynamics III offers simple ways to apply dynamics processing in mono, stereo, or in a full range of surround formats.*
Control every aspect of dynamic levels, from attack, release, threshold, and ratio to the “knee” of the Compressor/Limiter. Eliminate unwanted background noise or produce creative new effects by fine-tuning the ratio, attack, hold, release, and range of the Expander/Gate. Or home in on and reduce sibilants with the frequency and range controls of the floating threshold De-Esser. Look-ahead functionality and fully automatable controls deliver smooth, de-zippered output. Dynamics III also offers exceptional performance, running efficiently on host and DSP systems, so you can use many instances of Dynamics III.
For direct, hands-on control of functions, Dynamics III integrates easily with a wide range of Avid and third-party control surfaces and consoles. Control Dynamics III parameters from your Digi 002® interface or Command|8® control surface. Use Dynamics III on the road with direct control through the center section of the VENUE D-Show™ console. Or make Dynamics III an essential feature of your ICON integrated console environment by controlling these plug-ins directly from the dynamics panel in the center section of your D-Control™ or D-Command™ worksurface.
With a comprehensive set of features, an easy-to-use interface, and capabilities for hands-on operation, Dynamics III gives you all the tools you need for total control of dynamics.
*De-Esser is mono/stereo only.
