It's for engineers who like to see exactly what their dynamics processing is doing and shape it precisely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/blue-cat-dynamics-plugin.png?v=1794501128\" alt=\"Blue Cat Audio Dynamics compressor, gate and limiter plugin interface\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of it is a two-threshold system, which lets you build response curves a standard single-threshold compressor can't, such as compressing the middle of the range while expanding below it. Envelope detection is continuously variable between Peak and RMS and between VCA-style and Opto-style behaviour, so you can choose how snappy or smooth it reacts rather than picking one of two modes. Lookahead, a depth control to limit the gain range, input and side chain filters, dry\/wet for parallel compression and a post brickwall limiter or clipper round it out, with up to 4x oversampling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrums, vocals, buses and creative side chain work: ducking, gating and pumping from an external signal. The real-time response and gain reduction displays make it a good teaching tool too. It's a flexible workhorse rather than a characterful vintage box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressor, gate, limiter, expander and waveshaper with two thresholds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Peak\/RMS and Opto\/VCA detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLookahead and depth control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry\/wet for parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput and side chain filters, multiple side chain modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo or mid\/side processing with channel linking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost brickwall limiter or clipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 4x oversampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal-time response, envelope and gain reduction displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSystem requirements\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac: macOS 10.9 or later, Intel or Apple Silicon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindows: Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 or 11, SSE2 processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVST, VST3, AU (Mac only) and AAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOUND7 is an authorised Blue Cat Audio reseller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital delivery: licence activation code sent by email.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p2leHzQZpD8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Blue Cat Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57760883900789,"sku":"1246-86","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/blue-cat-dynamics-plugin.png?v=1794501128","url":"https:\/\/sound7.com\/products\/blue-cat-dynamics","provider":"SOUND7","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
