Focusrite
d3 is a world-class, software-based compressor/limiter
for Pro Tools TDM and AudioSuite-capable systems that
provides two mono or stereo configurations. The Compressor+Limiter
supplies both compression and limiting at all times. The
Compressor/Limiter allows users to select compression
or limiting, conserving DSP power for other operations
as necessary.
One
d3 Plug-In can be used multiple times simultaneously,
limited only by DSP capacity. Pro Tools software supports
side-chain processing with d3, accepting post-fader
input from any track or bus to control dynamics parameters.
Of course, all settings are automatically restored and
recalled with the Pro Tools session.
Similar
to the d2 Plug-In, the d3 interface closely emulates
the Red 3 hardware unit, with its red brushed- aluminum
panel graphic, illuminated push buttons and rotary control
knobs. A floating editor window supplies one-button
access to both compressor and limiter modules. A numeric
display area is located below each rotary knob for continuous
feedback and also allows numeric entry from the keyboard.
For precise processing, independent level controls and
high-resolution Plasma-type meters are also provided.
Don't
forget that, like other TDM Plug-Ins, you can run multiple
d3 Plug-Ins up to the limits of your available DSP power.
This means that, for the price of one Plug-In, you'll
have access to multiple Focusrite d3 processors making
this an extremely cost-effective solution.
