Using the Sonnox Oxford Dynamics is quite straightforward. First, install it on your system following the system requirements. Make sure you have a free iLok account and manage your license through the iLok License Manager. Once installed, open your audio project and load the plug - in onto the track or bus you want to process. You can choose from different processes like gating, expanding, compressing, or limiting. For example, if you're working on a vocal track, use the compressor to smooth out the volume variations. Adjust the settings according to your needs. The variable soft knee allows you to fine - tune the compression. When it comes to side - chaining, use the 2 - band side - chain EQ to create pumping effects. As for maintenance, keep your iLok account updated and make sure your operating system is also up - to - date. If you encounter any issues, check the compatibility with your audio software and hardware. Remember, each license has two activations, so use them wisely.
