Raising Jake dB Smooth Compressor/Expander Plugin (Download)

dB Smooth is a unique dynamics processor based on Finite Impulse Response (FIR) vs. traditional analog style level detectors. The FIR detectors are very precise and exactly surround the current audio sample producing a uniquely “smooth” sound at all settings. db Smooth also employs a unique “Unity gain threshold” where boost and cut are applied above and below this setting for gain matching by design. This approach allows the user to change compression/expansion ratios without having to re-adjust makeup gain levels.

db Smooth is a 4-Quadrant dynamics processor that can be used for:

• Wide range compression
• Wide range expansion
• Upward compression
• Downward compression
• Upward expansion
• Downward expansion

dB Smooth has as a very “clean” sound that does not break up or distort even at high ratios making it suitable for:

• Mixing
• Mastering
• Post Production
• Video/Film Audio
• Webcasting
• Podcasting

Features

• 4 choices of stereo operation:
  • Peak Linked
  • Average Linked
  • Independent Left/Right
  • Mid/Side
• Oversampled output soft clipper/limiter
• Dynamics range control continuously variable from 10:1 compression thru 1:2 expansion
• External side chain input
• Mix control for parallel compression effects
• Mono and stereo channel applications

dB Smooth is an excellent choice for music and post-production applications where clean, high quality dynamics control is required
