VSTDynamics

Steinberg

VSTDynamics is an advanced dynamics processor that combines three separate effects—Gate, Compressor, and Limiter—into a single plugin for comprehensive dynamic range control. It features three routing configurations to adjust the signal flow order, allowing users to quickly compare different processing approaches for optimal results on any audio material.

Key Features

01Three separate dynamic modules: Gate, Compressor, and Limiter
02Three routing configurations: G-C-L, C-L-G, C-G-L via Module Configurator
03Gate with three filter types (Low-Pass, Band-Pass, High-Pass) and internal side-chain
04Compressor with graphical display for threshold and ratio adjustment
05Limiter with Soft Clip mode adding warm, tube-like harmonics
06Auto Release mode for automatic parameter optimization
07Auto Make-Up Gain on compressor
08Range control on gate (down to minus infinite)

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Soft Clip button on the Limiter when signal level exceeds -6 dB to add warm, tube-like harmonics to the audio
  • 02Activate Auto Release on the Gate or Compressor to let the plug-in automatically find the best release setting for your audio material
  • 03Experiment with the three routing configurations (G-C-L, C-L-G, C-G-L) using the Module Configurator to compare which order produces the best results for your source
  • 04Enable Side-Chain on the Gate and select a filter type (Low-Pass, Band-Pass, or High-Pass) to shape the input signal and tailor how the gate operates
