Dynamics III
(TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite)
Dynamics III provides three modules:
• Compressor/Limiter
• Expander/Gate
•De-Esser
All Dynamics III modules are available in TDM,
RTAS, and AudioSuite formats.
Dynamics III supports 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sam-
ple rates. Compressor/Limiter and Ex-
pander/Gate modules work with mono, stereo,
and greater-than-stereo multichannel formats
up to 7.1. The De-Esser module works with
mono and stereo formats only.
In addition to standard controls in each mod-
ule, Dynamics III also provides a graph to track
the gain transfer curve in the Compressor/Lim-
iter and Expander/Gate plug-ins, and a fre-
quency graph to display which frequencies trig-
ger the De-Esser and which frequencies will be
gain reduced.
Shared Compressor/Limiter
and Expander/Gate Features
The following parts of the user interface are
shared between the Compressor/Limiter and Ex-
pander/Gate Dynamics III plug-ins.
Levels Section
The indicators and controls in the Levels section
let you track input, output, and gain reduction
levels, as well as work with phase invert and the
threshold setting.
See “De-Esser Levels Section” on page 29
for more information on De-Esser III In-
put/Output Level controls.
