What Valley People Dyna-mite does
The original Dyna-mite offers peak-average limiting, including a negative ratio of -20:1, with high-frequency filtering on the detector. Expanding is set through hard, soft and extreme gate settings, also with detector HF filtering, and ducking uses keying modes with an external side chain input.
Key features
- Three plug-ins, one core. The original Dyna-mite is joined by Dyna-mite Slam and Dyna-mite Gate, which are built on the same sound and simplified for narrower tasks.
- Limiting and expanding. Peak-average limiting with a negative ratio of -20:1 and hard, soft and extreme gate settings with detector HF filtering cover the main dynamic modes.
- Keying and side chain. Ducking uses keying modes with an external side chain input, so one signal can control the gain of another.
- Release and ARC. Release ranges from 0.05 to 5 seconds per 20 dB, and Anticipatory Release Computation reduces the release artifacts.
