What FG-Dynamics does
The plugin is organized around a compressor with automatic makeup gain, so the output level stays matched as the threshold changes. A mix knob blends the processed signal with the dry input for parallel compression, and a flexible gate and expander section adds further control over the dynamics of a track. The developer describes the processing as faithful to a well-known solid-state console compressor, with analog warmth and punch.
Key features
- Automatic makeup gain. Makeup gain is adjusted automatically as the compression changes, which keeps level comparisons consistent during a session.
- Mix knob for parallel compression. A single mix control blends the compressed signal with the dry signal, giving parallel compression without a separate send.
- Gate and expander section. The gate and expander section adds control over low-level signal, and the developer presents it as a way to shape dynamics beyond plain compression.
- Virtual Mix Rack integration. The plugin is integrated into Virtual Mix Rack, so it can be chained with other VMR modules such as FG-S.
- Factory presets. A set of expert presets is included as starting points for different sources.
Compatibility
The plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support listed. Minimum requirements are macOS 13 and Windows 10, and 4 GB of RAM. Activation uses iLok.
