Product Detail
The DRP2a mkII is a remarkable Stereo Dynamic Range Processor. It's a plugin emulating a 1990s Rocksonics Professional Audio hardware unit, with extra bonus features only in the plugin. This 'Swiss Army Knife' of dynamics processors can handle multiple functions like compression, expansion, noise gating, and more, all in a small plugin interface. It uses multi - layer RMS level detectors for smooth, low - distortion musical results, and is super easy to set up and operate. A single Threshold control quickly sets compression and gating points for guitars, vocals, etc. It offers the same time constants and controls as the original hardware, including Ratio, Threshold, Makup Gain, and Release speed. There's also an Expander Gate control for different expansion ratios. The plugin version has extra features such as Side Chain Input, Look Ahead, and more. It automatically switches for mono or stereo tracks to save CPU, making it perfect for mixing.
Using the DRP2a mkII is a breeze. First, set the Threshold control according to your instrument, like guitars or vocals. This will quickly define where compression and gating start. You can adjust the Ratio to change between compression and expansion. The Makup Gain and Release speed can be tweaked to get the sound you want. For the Expander Gate control, pick the downward expansion ratio you prefer. When using the additional features like Side Chain Input or Look Ahead, just follow the on - screen prompts. As for maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure smooth operation. Also, be careful when using the oversampled output Clipper/Limiter to avoid over - processing. And remember, this plugin automatically adjusts for mono or stereo tracks, so you don't have to worry about high CPU loads.
