Impact Soundworks Releases Peak Rider – Dynamics Processing Plug-In
Impact Soundworks has released Peak Rider for controlling dynamics of a main source through a dictating sidechain input.
Peak Rider is a versatile dynamics controller for better intelligibility.
Peak Rider shapes the volume envelope of the main input in real-time. Four processing modes determine how the sidechain input will be used to process the main input:
- Exact
- Noboost
- Duck
- Limit
Analysis modes determine how the input is detected:
- Peak
- RMS
- Smooth
Shaping of the volume envelope can be done with wide-band, or multi-band modes. Each band also has independent controls for gain, attack / lookahead, decay, and transient shape, giving users an incredible amount of precise control.
Recommended uses from Impact Soudworks include:
Tightening and matching harmony vocals to a main vocal track, restoring dynamics to over-saturated and distorted drum parts, creating new rhythmic elements based on existing rhythms and transients, surgically processing single bands or channels, gating, limiting, and transient shaping, to name just a few.
Peak Rider is available now for an intro price of $79 ($99 MSRP) in VST and AU formats.
