REQ: Raising Jake dB Smooth (MacOS)

dB Smooth - FIR-Based 4-Quadrant Compressor/Expander - ultra-smooth compression and expansiondB Smooth is a unique dynamics processor based on 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 expansiondB 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•PodcastingdB Smooth provides the following features:•4 choices of stereo operation:oPeak LinkedoAverage LinkedoIndependent Left/RightoMid/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 applicationsdB Smooth is an excellent choice for music and post-production applications where clean, high quality dynamics control is required.
