Sonible have released smart:comp 3, available at the intro price of £79.00, increasing to £109.00 after the promotion.
What’s new:
- Compression Matrix: Displays a range of compressor settings and allows smooth transitions between different compression characters.
- Compression Scope: Visualizes the viable compression range of the analyzed signal.
- Group Mode: Links multiple plug-in instances for shared control of threshold, ratio, attack, release, and mix. Enables batch adjustments from a single interface.
- Zero-latency Mode: Minimum-phase processing for live use and recording with no delay. Linear- phase mode remains available for mixing and post-production.
- Refined Input Riding: Stabilizes level variations prior to compression.
- Enhanced Style Control: Updated compression engines with defined attack and release behavior and refined saturation characteristics.
Sonible’s smart:comp 3 is an advanced audio compressor plug-in that leverages intelligent algorithms and AI to provide a semantic approach to dynamic control, translating audio signals into an intuitive map of compression characteristics for faster, more musical results.
The plug-in features a unique Compression Matrix where AI analyzes audio material to map a spectrum of viable compression settings, allowing users to explore dynamic shaping potential without extensive trial and error.
smart:comp 3 enhances workflow for complex sessions with its Group Mode, enabling simultaneous control of up to 7 tracks from a single window for consistent compression across multiple instances, streamlining mixing and mastering tasks.
Beyond standard controls, it offers three distinct Style options (Clean, Smooth, Aggressive) plus a Custom style, along with advanced features like Spectral Compression, Spectral Ducking, zero-latency mode, and Input Riding for detailed sonic shaping.
