01Overview

Bark24 | Dyn sits between a compressor and an equalizer. Its 24 bands follow the Bark scale, which models how the ear divides the frequency range, so each band lines up with how the sound is perceived. Four dynamic processing modes, linear phase filters and three filter slopes give you control over how each band responds. The plugin is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

Bark-Scale Band Structure and Dynamic Processing

The 24 frequency bands are based on the Bark scale, a model of human hearing. Each band can be processed independently, with up to ±48dB of gain per band. Four dynamic processing modes let you choose how each band reacts to the input level.

Linear phase filters and three selectable filter slopes shape how the bands interact. The developer describes the result as musical and intuitive, which suits both corrective mixing and more aggressive sound design.

Auto-threshold adjusts to the material you load, so you can start from a useful setting without setting every band by hand.

Metering, Visual Feedback and Workflow Controls

Bark24 | Dyn offers detailed real-time visual feedback, with four metering modes and a 3D visualization of the processing. This makes it easier to see which bands are working and by how much.

Per-band Solo, Mute and On/Off buttons let you audition or isolate individual regions of the spectrum. A wet/dry mix control allows parallel processing, and MIDI control is supported for automating or performing changes.
