SKYE Dynamics (Surround): Multi-Stage Dynamics Processor Plugin by Signum Audio

The three processors can be chained in any order and combined to shape dynamics in stages. Signum Audio says the algorithms are designed to deliver clean processing with exceptionally low distortion and saturation. Five envelope shapes are available for each processor: Linear, Natural, Transparent, Smooth and Pumping. Adaptive auto-release adjusts the release time to the material, which can reduce the need for manual release tuning.

Each processor has its own side chain and its own bypass, so you can audition individual stages without disabling the whole chain. Gain staging can be placed at any point in the chain.

The interface shows the full effects chain in one view, and you configure each stage from node controls. Metering and settings update when you select a processor. The dynamic range of the meters and effect configuration can be scaled for finer work, and the window can be resized or switched to a compact view to save screen space.

In the Surround version, channel linking supports configurations up to 7.1.4, and multichannel input and output metering is shown for the whole chain and for each effect. This suits spatial mixing projects, including Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 setups as listed by the developer.
