Daly City, CA (November 7, 2005) ? Digidesign is pleased to announce the availability of Dynamics III, a free download and an exciting new addition to the free collection of DigiRack™ plug-ins included with all Digidesign® Pro Tools®
and Avid® picture systems.
The Dynamics III plug-in suite includes a Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser, each in an easy-to-use interface. Dynamics III offers simple ways to apply dynamics processing in mono, stereo, or a full range of surround formats.*Dynamics III provides control over every aspect of dynamic levels, from attack, release, threshold, and ratio to the “knee” of the Compressor/Limiter.
Users can eliminate unwanted background noise or produce creative new effects
by fine-tuning the ratio, attack, hold, release, and range of the Expander/Gate,
or home 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.
For direct, hands-on control of functions, Dynamics III integrates easily with
a wide range of Digidesign and third-party control surfaces and consoles. Dynamics
III can also be used on the road with direct control through the center section
of the VENUE D-Show™ console, or as an essential feature of an ICON integrated
console environment by controlling these plug-ins directly from the dynamics
panel in the center section of a D-Control™ or D-Command™ worksurface.
With a comprehensive set of features, an easy-to-use interface, and capabilities
for hands-on operation, Dynamics III provides all the tools needed for total
control of dynamics.
