Sonnox Oxford Dynamics Plug In PowerCore
The Sony Oxford Dynamics plug in is a highly sophisticated device with comprehensive control of many parameters. Therefore, to aid operation, there is separate page of controls for each process, since it would not be feasible to have all controls and displays available on a single page.Although there are four gain level controlling processes, Gate, Expander, Compressor and Limiter in the mono and stereo plug ins, their control signals are all derived from a single side chain detector, operating on a single gain control element. The amount of processing necessary to allow a detector for each process would be far too great for current processor capabilities, if done correctly.The 5.1 Buss Compressor does not include gating and and expansion, but as an additionally has a Sub Filter section. Feed Forward ArchitectureThe type of architecture in the Oxford Dynamics uses feed forward techniques. In this case, a tiny delay is introduced into the signal path. The amount of delay is virtually insignificant, and can be compensated for, in order that all signal paths are aligned, in any case. This delay allows time for the side chain control signal to be generated so that it can coincide exactly with the signal it will control. This technique allows very accurate control of the audio levels by generating totally precise control signals, thus preserving audio quality. GateThe gate acts like a switch, where signals below the THRESHOLD setting are attenuated, according the the RANGE control setting. This type of function is useful for suppressing unwanted background noises, such as tape hiss, where the wanted signal is well defined. Gates are very useful on drums and percussive instruments too.Once the signal reaches levels above the THRESHOLD, the gate opens allowing the signal through at full level. When the signal level falls, it must reduce to 4dB below the THRESHOLD before the gate will close again. This is known as 4dB of hysteresis. Increasing the ATTACK time, softens the Close...
