AutomaticLite

Dynamics on the go.

AutomaticLite is a simplified, free version of our AutomaticDynamic plugin. It's an automatic compressor that's effortless to calibrate to your material.

There are no dials for threshold or make-up gain—because these are automatic. Thus the device stays configured and delivers a consistent dynamic signature, even as your material gets louder and quieter.

The plugin also sounds great, with proprietary gain-reduction dynamics designed to preserve transients.

Features:

• Automatic compression threshold—use the "Compression" knob to control how far the threshold rides below the peaks in your signal.
• Adjustable compression ratio (1–4x) and attack/release times.
• Simple automatic gate with adjustable range up to 6dB.
• Parallel processing via gain-matched dry/wet mix control.
• Automatic make-up gain to match perceived loudness.
• Mid-side processing (100% unlinked).

How to use:

• Set the release time to best match the groove of your material.
• The Mix dial has a sweet spot at 33% wet.
• Click the gain reduction display for instant A/B test (plugin will keep listening to the input and stay calibrated).
• Double-click to reset a dial to its default value, or hold / to fine-tune.
• Use AutomaticLite on your master bus or on individual audio tracks.

Technical notes:

• Available in VST3 format for PC, and VST3 & AU formats for Mac. AAX support coming soon.
• Requires a compatible Digital Audio Workstation or other plugin host.
• Zero latency.
• No external sidechain capability.
