Dynamic Frequency Limiter

Dynamic Frequency Limiter

Dynamic Frequency Limiter is a combination of a band- peakfilter / compressor / limiter / transient designer.
The plugin scans a frequency region in the spectrum to find the dB level of this region and use it to dynamically control the volume of the same or another frequency region either (sidechained) ducking, compressing, limiting, enhance transients or everything together at the same time.
In comparison to normal compressors/limiters, which compress the whole signal or a wide band, this compressor uses biquad filters to apply the gain reduction/addition needed even if the bandwidth is just a single frequency (e.g. using it as a feedback destroyer).
Using short attack&release values this can make up some wild, dynamic distortions.
Using the transient knob, the attack stage becomes a transient designer.
A delay on the envelope allows you to delay the gain reduction, to allow the passage of a short burst of sound before the compression kicks in.
The internal routing ends with a simple hard limiter to protect your dear speakers.
Uses can be:

• Removing (compressing/limiting) annoying peaks in a certain frequency region without altering the volume of other regions in the spectrum.
• Feedback destroyer.
• Creating peak-controlled resonances.
• Shaping the overall envelope of sounds (excellent on both drums and synthesizers).
• Leaving a frequency region through, while blocking another.
• On short attack/decay times, all kinds of (very nasty) shapable distortions can be created. Combined with the sidechain functionality this can create lots of interesting effects.
• Maximizing loudness/sustain of a frequency region.
• Overall soundsculpting.
• Sidechaining by another channel to induce sound effects ranging from simple compressing/ducking, resonating, expanding frequency regions, dynamic distortions to audiorate AM modulation.
