In this free video tutorial, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers uses the Pro Audio DSP  Dynamic Spectrum Mapper from Plugin Alliance on a mix to demonstrate this unique take on multi-band compression. This processor tries to build on the advantages of multi-band compression when used on complex material while at the same time making it simpler and less intimidating to use.

A Compressor Which Knows About The Music It's Compressing

This plug-in profiles the source material and builds a custom threshold curve across the entire spectrum, allowing far tighter control of the dynamics in complex material and, by using many bands of compression, alleviating the issues caused at the crossover points in conventional multi-band compressors without increasing the complexity and number of parameters to be addressed.
