Oxford Dynamics

A powerful all-in-one dynamics control plugin

A powerhouse of dynamic control in a single plugin that features six independent processes for precision dynamic sculpting of your tracks.

  • Gate
  • Expander
  • Compressor
  • Limiter
  • 2-band side-chain EQ 
  • Warmth control

From subtle control of a vocal, to a pumping side-chained effect; from lightning-fast gating and precision expansion to peak level limiting of single tracks and buses alike. Sonic clarity at all times – with the option of tube-like harmonic saturation when you need it.

We’d love to talk about our use of feed-forward architecture with logarithmic processing, but maybe it’s better to quote some of our users instead:

 ‘Musical-sounding and intuitive’, ‘Transparent’ and ‘Versatile’,
