Digidesign has just announced a new addition to their DigiRack plugins called Dynamics III. The new plugins are completely free and include a Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser. Dynamics III requires a Digidesign-qualified Pro Tools system running Pro Tools 6.7 or higher software.
From Digidesign:
"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 hone 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."
The new Dynamics III plugins include:
- Multi-channel support*
- Optimized for maximum CPU and DSP efficiency
- High-resolution processing, up to 192 kHz
- External key and side-chain frequency filter capabilities
- De-zippered, automatable controls for smooth parameter changes
- RTAS, TDM, and AudioSuite formats
- Windows XP and Mac OS X support
You can download these new Dynamics III plugins for free from Digidesign.
