Achieving good dynamic control in your music involves a lot more than just the application of compression. Indeed, if you really want to get into the finer details of a mix you’ll need a number of tools to hand, including a gate, an expander, a limiter, the provision of sidechain access and, of course, the ubiquitous compressor. This is when Sonnox’s Oxford Dynamics plug-in will come in handy. More than just a compressor, this plug-in combines several of the most fundamental tools for dynamic control. Already a long-serving member of the PowerCore platform as well as the Pro Tools LE and TDM families and following the recent management buyout and subsequent corporate rebranding from Sony Oxford to Sonnox, Oxford Dynamics is now available in both AU and VST formats, making a timely re-evaluation of its skills well overdue.
