KVR Audio

SlickHDR is a “Psychoaccoustic Dynamic Processor” which:

- balances the perceived global vs. local micro dynamics of any incoming audio.
- creates a rich in contrast, detailed and clearly perceived image which translates way better across different listening environments.
- provides a convenient workflow by simply adjusting three dynamic processors to show a roughly same load.
- offers further and detailed control about overall tone and release time behavior.

The stunning UI artwork and all renders were done by Patrick once again. Made with love in switzerland – as he said!

SlickHDR is available as a freeware VST audio plug-in for Windows x32 and you can check for more information and to download a copy over here.

There were already lots of questions since the announcement and I expect even more and so I'll set up a FAQ based on all the discussions which will probably arise here in this thread during the next days.

peace,
bootsy

Wow! I was just checking your website a few minutes ago! I guess I checked it a bit too early

I'll try this asap!
Thanks for another nice freebie!

Cheers

Thank you! GUI is too big in my notebook, I can't see all knobs (everything under "Tone" slider).

Visually and sonically very pleasing.

Just the right thing for a relaxing Thursday evening... I'm getting ready to mix a new tune, and will try this out now. I'm really intrigued by the manual... thanks for all your work!

Wow! This seems to be something entirely new to the whole audio processing world. At least I have never heard of something similar. Excited to try this!

There is a hotfix available containing an alternative and smaller GUI version for SlickHDR (Just necessary if you had display problems on smaller screens).

OK guys, in case you are a bit confused: don't imagine P2 and P3 like a multiband setup controlling the low freqs and high freqs.

workflow example....

(added: set the P2 and P3 controls to minimum) Drive P1 as hard as you can but still getting a good sound.
...as soon as you bring P2 into action it will share the load and sound better...
...set the P2 release in different fashion of setting a usual compressor release, this one is about overall glue...
...top it off with P3+it's release setting,
(set the tone to bright, seems like most my cases), play with low and high detail knobs and finally finetune P1, P2 and P3 if needed.

compensate level for A/B

OK now I'm off to drive it as hard as it can for single tracks to smell it's silky burn!
