Featured Product



Roger Nichols Digital Dynam-Izer
Because you cannot rely on one-size-fits-all compression, Dynam-izer™ lets the user break up audio levels up into zones so that they can be controlled more precisely. Dynam-izer compresses louder levels with a quick attack and expands lower levels with a slow release that leaves alone the mid-level sounds. Dynam-izer provides a unique visualization of peak/RMS-sensing compression that, like a graphic equalizer, provides critical information about dynamic level changes. Select from seven filters for key audio path. Includes RTAS, VST, Audio Units for Mac OS and RTAS, VST for Windows. Includes Pro Tools RTAS (Mac/Win), VST (Mac/Win) and Apple Audio Unit. Price: $249. Summer NAMM Booth #419.

Traditional X/Y or vector modes or RND’s intuitive polar, plus selectable peak/RMS metering. Includes RTAS, VST, Audio Units for Mac OS and RTAS and VST for Windows. Price: $299.
