RJ Studios has released dB Smooth, a unique, FIR-based 4-quadrant dynamics processor.
Here's what they say:
dB Smooth provides a uniquely smooth sound due to its use of 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 provides the following features:
- Selectable Average or RMS response.
- 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 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.
dB Smooth is available in VST2, VST3 and AAX formats for Windows PC and VST2, VST3, AAX and AU formats for Mac 10.11+ and Apple Silicon M1/ARM.
Intro Price: $39.95 USD (+tax where applicable) thru 10/31/2022 (Reg. $59.95).
