Pro Audio DSP has released Dynamic Spectrum Mapper for Mac OS X AU (an RTAS version has been available since April).

At the heart of the Dynamic Spectrum Mapper (DSM) lies an easy-to-use single-button "Capture" system. This unique feature uses adaptive techniques to capture both the frequency-domain and dynamic characteristics of audio program, and uses this as the basis for a highly developed large scale multi-band compression process.

The DSM also includes a single-button Limiter function which has been optimised specifically to work with the compression stage.

Exemplary results in lightning-fast time can be achieved for common tasks such as:

• Loudness enhancement
• Compression
• Vocal enhancement and character processing
• De-essing

The DSM provides multi-dimensional control over both the spectral response and dynamic characteristics of audio material, bringing a whole new dimension of facility and artistic ability to the sound engineer.

The ability to rapidly capture, modify and re-apply sound character to its own source, or to any other program, provides for novel functionality, such as:

• Sound character mapping between whole mixes, tracks, vocal parts and instruments.
• Continuity matching.
• Character control for broadcast play out.
• Microphone proximity correction in video or film production.
• Fixing problems in difficult outside broadcast situations.

Pricing & Availability

Priced at £200, Dynamic Spectrum Mapper (DSM) is available now for Mac OS X in AU and RTAS plug-in formats.
