What Laser 2 does
Laser 2 is organized around a real-time waveform analysis sidechain. The analyzer visualizes incoming transients and the reduction envelopes they create, and a separate analyzer section shows clashing frequencies in the spectral domain. Negative offset starts reduction before a transient hits, and the developer lists ultra-fast envelope shapes for the fastest transients. Oversampling is available, and the plugin can also run on the main track as a non-sidechain envelope shaper.
Key features
- Transient waveform analysis. The sidechain analyzer displays incoming transients and the reduction envelopes they create, so the timing of each reduction can be checked against the audio.
- Dynamic multi-band processing. One to three reduction bands are selected as needed, and each band can be set to mid, side or stereo processing independently.
- Negative offset and envelope shapes. Negative offset starts reduction before a transient arrives, and the ultra-fast envelope shapes are meant for the quickest transients.
- Precise sidechain filters. The sidechain signal can be preprocessed with filters so that triggering and ducking are more accurate.
- Spectral analyzer section. A dedicated analyzer shows clashing frequencies in real time in the spectral domain.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches for a Laser 2 crack often pair the name with keygen, serial key and activation key, and the repack is the release most often typed.
Compatibility
Laser 2 comes as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows 7 and macOS 10.15 or higher in 64-bit builds, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
