Ambisonic Dynamics Control

The aXCompressor is a cutting-edge ambisonic compressor plugin designed to manage the dynamics of ambisonic audio signals while preserving their intricate spatial balance. Whether you’re working with immersive recordings or complex mixes, aXCompressor delivers the familiar controls of a standard stereo compressor, making it intuitive for any audio professional.

With features like automatic ambisonic order detection and a detailed gain reduction display, aXCompressor optimizes performance and workflow.

Features

Input gain – boost or cut the input gain
Output make-up gain – adjust the output level to compensate for a reduction in overall level due to compression
Threshold – the threshold level above which a signal will have compression applied
Ratio – controls the amount of compression applied when signals go above the Threshold
Knee width – control how smoothly the compressor goes from uncompressed to compressed as signal level increases
Attack time – the time in milliseconds for the compressor to become fully active once the signal goes above the Threshold
Release time – the time in milliseconds for the compressor to stop acting on the signal once it falls below the Threshold
RMS or peak detection – control whether it is the signals peak or average levels that are used to determine if the level is above the Threshold
Gain Reduction Display – shows the amount of gain reduction applied over time, with adjustable range
Ambisonic Order Detection – processing automatically matches the order of the input signal to optimize CPU usage
Process High Resolution Tenth-Order Ambisonics – supports up to tenth-order Ambisonics for the highest spatial resolution
