Acustica Audio have released Ink, available at the intro price of €79.00, increasing to €159.00 after the promotion. The offer ends November 6th.
Ink is a suite of two independent yet complementary processors — Ink MultiLevel Dynamics and Ink MultiBand Dynamics. Together, they form a complete ecosystem for redefining how dynamics are shaped, both by loudness and by frequency, combining precision, musicality, and flexibility in one unified workflow.
- INK MultiLevel Dynamics processes sound based on loudness zones (Subtle, Core, Edge, Impact), allowing each zone to be shaped independently using fully modeled compressors (with model-true expansion available) and matching preamp models. Use MultiLevel to lift hidden details, enhance micro-dynamics, or create multi-knee behavior by combining models; even a single model delivers strong results.
- INK MultiBand Dynamics shapes dynamics across frequency bands (Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid, High). Each band runs its own independent processor, which makes the system robust and hard to stress. You can compress or expand exactly where needed; Auto-Gain with Hold keeps decisions fast and level-matched, and careful crossover handling preserves tonal balance.
Use each plugin independently for focused work, or combine them to build a complete dynamic-response system. Whether you’re managing transients, taming harshness, or enhancing tonal depth, INK gives you the tools to do it all—transparently and musically.
Features include:
- 4 Loudness Zones + 4 Frequency Bands for multidimensional shaping
- 8 compressor models with authentic behavior including Vari-Mu, FET, VCA, limiter. Each model can operate as a compressor or as a model-true expander.
- 7 matched preamps to add tone or harmonic saturation (one per compressor model)
- Refined compression models for more natural, musical response; improved behavior at extreme settings and better accounting for parasitic effects
- Anti-aliasing attack system to reduce aliasing, especially with very fast attacks and strong processing, for cleaner transients
- Multi-zone knee view to see exactly how compression/expansion is working
- Real-time metering and zone/band feedback
- Advanced stereo shaping: continuous Mid/Side control, Dry/Wet, Auto-Gain with Hold, and more
- Oversampling modes: optimize for mastering or efficiency
- Factory presets built for vocals, drums, buses, mastering, and more
Ink is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
