Outlaw is a gain-riding plugin from W. A. Production that automatically levels audio by adjusting volume in the manner of a mixing desk fader, and the outlaw crack string most often typed alongside it is a reminder that the release circulates widely.

What Outlaw does
Outlaw listens to the incoming audio and compensates for volume changes, so the level is held near a chosen RMS target without drawing volume automation by hand. Four main dials cover the core control: MIX sets how strongly the effect applies, TARGET sets the RMS target level, GATE sets a relative level below which the gain-rider ignores softer sounds, and GAIN controls the master output for setting accurate levels during A/B comparison.
Detection can be shaped with a high-pass filter, a low-pass filter and a band-pass mode, with four slope settings, so that low rumble, hi-hat bleed or other problem frequencies can be kept out of the level detection. Attack and release options mould transients and sustains of the processed audio, and a Direction parameter sets whether that attack and release act upwards, downwards or in both directions. Maximum values limit how far the gain is raised or lowered, and an advanced panel reached from a secondary page fine-tunes the gain algorithm.
Key features
- Four main dials. MIX sets the intensity of the gain-riding, TARGET sets the RMS target level, GATE sets a relative level below which softer sounds are ignored, and GAIN controls the master output.
- Detection filters. High-pass, low-pass and band-pass filtering with four slope settings keeps low rumble and high-hat bleed out of the level detection.
- Attack, release and direction. Attack and release options reshape transients and sustains, and the Direction parameter selects upward, downward or both-direction operation.
- Maximum gain limits. MAX UP and MAX DOWN values set how far the gain may be raised or lowered, which controls the intensity of the riding.
- Metering. Peak and RMS readouts are shown for the left and right channels, with the amount of gain-riding displayed at the centre.
- Advanced settings. A secondary panel holds fine-tuning for the gain algorithm, and the interface is resizable.
Compatibility
The minimum requirements are macOS 10.13 and Windows 8, and Pro Tools is the host named by the developer. A trial is available.
