Product Detail
dB Smooth is a remarkable dynamics processor. It uses Finite Impulse Response (FIR) detectors instead of traditional analog - style ones. These FIR detectors are extremely precise, precisely surrounding the current audio sample to create a uniquely smooth sound at all settings. It also has a special 'Unity gain threshold'. By design, boost and cut are applied above and below this setting for easy gain matching. This means you can change compression/expansion ratios without readjusting makeup gain levels. As a 4 - Quadrant dynamics processor, dB Smooth offers a wide range of functions, including wide - range compression and expansion, upward and downward compression, and upward and downward expansion. It has a clean sound that doesn't break up or distort even at high ratios, making it perfect for mixing, mastering, post - production, video/film audio, webcasting, and podcasting. The features are great too! You have 4 choices of stereo operation (Peak Linked, Average Linked, Independent Left/Right, Mid/Side), an oversampled output soft clipper/limiter, a continuously variable dynamics range from 10:1 compression to 1:2 expansion, an external side chain input, a mix control for parallel compression effects, and it can be used for both mono and stereo channels. dB Smooth is ideal for music and post - production when you need clean, high - quality dynamics control.
Using dB Smooth is easy. First, choose the appropriate stereo operation mode according to your needs. You can select Peak Linked, Average Linked, Independent Left/Right, or Mid/Side. Then, adjust the dynamics range control to set the compression or expansion ratio. You don't need to worry about readjusting the makeup gain when changing the ratio because of the unique Unity gain threshold. If you want to use parallel compression, use the mix control. When it comes to external side chain input, connect your desired audio source. For output, the oversampled output soft clipper/limiter will help keep your sound clean. Keep in mind that although dB Smooth can handle high ratios without distortion, don't push it to extreme settings all the time. For maintenance, just make sure your software is up - to - date. That way, you can always enjoy the high - quality dynamics control of dB Smooth in your music and post - production projects.
