Dynamics on the go.
AutomaticLite is a simplified, free version of our AutomaticDynamic plugin. It's an automatic compressor that's effortless to calibrate to your material.
There are no dials for threshold or make-up gain—because these are automatic. Thus the device stays configured and delivers a consistent dynamic signature, even as your material gets louder and quieter.
The plugin also sounds great, with proprietary gain-reduction dynamics designed to preserve transients.
Features
- Automatic compression threshold—use the "Compression" knob to control how far the threshold rides below the peaks in your signal
- Adjustable compression ratio (1–6x) and attack/release times
- Simple automatic gate with adjustable range up to 6dB
- Parallel processing via gain-matched dry/wet mix control
- Automatic make-up gain to match perceived loudness
- Mid-side processing (100% unlinked)
How to use
- Set the release time to best match the groove of your material
- The Mix dial has a sweet spot at 33% wet
- Click the gain reduction display for instant A/B test (plugin will keep listening to the input and stay calibrated)
- Click "M" or "S" within the display to toggle Mid or Side processing on/off
- Connect a sidechain signal to use the device in ducking mode (in the AU plugin version, also click "Sidechain" in the display)
- Double-click to reset a dial to its default value, or hold <CTRL>/<CMD> to fine-tune
- Use AutomaticLite on your master bus or on individual audio tracks
Technical notes
- Available in VST3 format for PC, and VST3 & AU formats for Mac. AAX support coming soon
- Requires a compatible Digital Audio Workstation or other plugin host
- Zero latency, except for 7ms look-ahead if used in sidechain ducking mode
- Plugin is designed for common audio signals such as music and voice; may not react meaningfully to artificial test signals such as chirps, impulses and bursts
