Chapter 11: Dynamics III 65
Chapter 11: Dynamics III
Dynamics III is a suite of three dynamics
plug-ins that are available in TDM, RTAS, and
AudioSuite formats:
• Compressor/Limiter (see “Compres-
sor/Limiter III” on page 68)
• Expander/Gate (see “Expander/Gate III” on
page 71)
• De-Esser (see “De-Esser III” on page 73)
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 module,
Dynamics III also provides a graph to track the
gain transfer curve in the Compressor/Limiter
and Expander/Gate plug-ins, and a frequency
graph to display which frequencies trigger the
De-Esser and which frequencies will be gain re-
duced.
Dynamics III Shared Features
and Controls
The Levels section, the LFE Enable button, and
the Dynamics Graph display of the user inter-
face are shared between the Compressor/Lim-
iter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser plug-ins.
Dynamics III Levels Section
The indicators and controls in the Dynamic III
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 III Level Meters” on page 74
for more information on De-Esser III In-
put/Output Level controls.
