Digidesign announced the availability of Dynamics III, a free download and a new addition to the free collection of DigiRack plug-ins included with all Digidesign Pro Tools and Avid picture systems. The Dynamics III plug-in suite includes a Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser, each in an easy-to-use interface. Dynamics III offers simple ways to apply dynamics processing in mono, stereo, or a full range of surround formats. The De-Esser provides only mono and stereo operation.

Dynamics III provides control over every aspect of dynamic levels, from attack, release, threshold, and ratio to the "knee" of the Compressor/Limiter. Users can eliminate unwanted background noise or produce creative new effects by fine-tuning the ratio, attack, hold, release, and range of the Expander/Gate, or home in on and reduce sibilants with the frequency and range controls of the floating threshold De-Esser. Look-ahead functionality and fully automatable controls deliver smooth, de-zippered output. Dynamics III also offers performance, running efficiently on host and DSP systems according to Digidesign.

For direct, hands-on control of functions, Dynamics III integrates easily with a wide range of Digidesign and third-party control surfaces and consoles. Dynamics III can also be used on the road with direct control through the center section of the VENUE D-Show console, or as an essential feature of an ICON integrated console environment by controlling these plug-ins directly from the dynamics panel in the center section of a D-Control or D-Command worksurface.

Three dynamics processing plug-ins: Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser
