The DYNAM-IZER is a unique zone-based compressor from Roger Nichols
Digital, a company founded by producer, recording-engineer, and 7-time
Grammy winner Roger Nichols, whose resume includes producer and
engineer for the critically acclaimed group, Steely Dan as well as
artists ranging from Joe Cocker, Al DiMeola, and Bela Fleck to Al
Jarreau, Mark Knopfler, and Frank Sinatra. A former nuclear
engineer-turned recording engineer, Nichols vast technical knowledge
includes development of one of the first commercially available
sampling drum machines, consulting with Yamaha on the development of
automation for the 02R digital console, and while digital recorders
were still only 16-bit, Roger designed a 24-bit splitter device (Paq
Rat) for Rane. See what the flexibility and power of Roger Nichols
Digital DYNAM-IZER can do for your mix.
Roger Nichols Digital DYNAM-IZER at a Glance:
- New generation compressor plug in lets you compress audio levels independently.
- Graphic view of vital dynamics processing information
- DYNAM-IZER lets you choose the audio that will trigger its compression
- Cloud meters show you where your audio levels are concentrated
Break Your Audio Levels Into "Zones"
Don't get confused - this is not multi-band compression. DYNAM-IZER is
an entirely different beast. Why always apply the same compression to
all audio levels? Compress the louder levels with a quick attack;
expand the lower levels with a slow release and leave the mid level
sounds alone. Try it with a traditional compressor - you won't get far.
DYNAM-IZER lets you break your audio levels up into "zones" so you can
control them exactly how you want. No one size fits all compression
here.
A Graphic Compressor
Thought you knew compression? Think again. DYNAM-IZER lets you
visualize compression in a way you've never seen before (no transfer
curves here). Just like a graphic equalizer provides valuable
information for your equalization efforts, so does DYNAM-IZER provide
critical info for your compression efforts. No more shooting in the
dark - just the info you need for total control.
Tweak Your Sidechain Key Audio
Left channel, right channel, both or side chain - DYNAM-IZER let's you
choose the audio that will trigger its compression. Like it fast and
hard or slow and smooth? You choose: select from Peak or RMS analysis
of your key to get the results you want. And once you've got that
nailed, get busy with the three available filters (7 filter types to
choose from) to tweak your key audio to meet your needs. Whether you're
ducking, de-essing or trying something new, DYNAM-IZER's key has you
covered.
Cloud Meters
DYNAM-IZER's compression meters indicate how your attack and release
are affecting the compression. Cloud meters show you where your audio
levels are concentrated. There's even a built-in "Auto-Limiter" for
those times when you want to ensure your audio doesn't go in the red.
Automatic gain compensation, look-ahead, and more.
