01Overview

DynOne is an effects plugin from Leapwing Audio built around five bands of parallel compression. Its filters are designed to control levels across the spectrum while keeping detail in the signal. The attack and release settings use adjustable minimum and maximum values, so you can shape dynamics on transient-heavy material or sustained sounds. Beyond the core compression, DynOne includes variable RMS and peak detection, stereo link control, a weighting algorithm for sidechain control and a Center-Side mode for the stereo field.

03In depth

Five-Band Parallel Dynamics With Transparent Filtering

DynOne splits the signal into five bands, each with its own dynamics processing. The developer describes its filters as high-quality FIR filters, aimed at keeping levels in check without adding aliasing, phase problems or distortion between the bands, including at higher frequencies.

The plugin uses a modest and adjustable CPU load, and it can bounce processing automatically in the highest quality to keep your session moving.

Adaptive Attack and Release Controls

Rather than a single fixed attack and release time, DynOne uses adjustable minimum and maximum settings. This lets you tune the response for transients or for sustained material.

For mixing and mastering, the plugin offers stereo link control, variable RMS and peak detection, and a Center-Side mode for working on the stereo image. A real-time display shows what the compressor is doing so you can judge changes as you make them.
