Acustica Audio Releases INK: A Dual-Axis Dynamics Suite for Loudness and Frequency Control
vendredi 10 octobre 2025, 12:10 , par KVR Audio
Acustica Audio has announced the release of INK, a new suite comprising two complementary processors designed for precise dynamic control across both loudness and the frequency spectrum. INK offers a novel approach by separating these two dimensions of sound into individual plugins: INK MultiLevel Dynamics for loudness and INK MultiBand Dynamics for frequency. The core idea behind INK is its 'dual-axis' architecture. Instead of a single, all-in-one processor, it provides two focused tools that can be used independently or together to create a complete dynamic shaping system. This modular design aims to provide a more precise and musical alternative to traditional broadband or multiband compressors. INK MultiLevel Dynamics processes audio based on four distinct loudness zones: Subtle, Core, Edge, and Impact. Each zone can be shaped independently using one of eight fully modeled compressors, allowing for intricate dynamic sculpting. You can use it to enhance micro-dynamics, lift quiet details, or even build custom multi-knee compression responses. INK MultiBand Dynamics, on the other hand, operates across four frequency bands: Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid, and High. Each band contains its own independent processor for targeted compression or expansion. This makes it suitable for tasks like de-essing, taming low-end buildup, or adding presence to specific spectral areas without affecting the entire signal. Key Features Two Plugin Processors: INK MultiLevel (loudness) and INK MultiBand (frequency). Multidimensional Shaping: 4 loudness zones and 4 frequency bands. 8 Compressor Models: A selection of Vari-Mu, FET, and VCA models, each capable of compression or model-true expansion. 7 Matched Preamp Models: Add harmonic saturation and tone, with each preamp corresponding to a specific compressor model. Anti-Aliasing Attack System: Designed to reduce aliasing artifacts for cleaner transients, especially with fast attack settings. Multi-Zone Knee View: Provides visual feedback on how compression and expansion are being applied. Advanced Stereo Control: Includes continuous Mid/Side processing, Dry/Wet mix, and Auto-Gain with a Hold function. Oversampling Modes: Offers options to balance between mastering quality and CPU efficiency. Compressor & Preamp Models Each zone or band can be assigned one of eight compressor styles: Gold 8254: Smooth Vari-Mu for subtle leveling. Sand Bus Comp: Punchy VCA for mix-bus cohesion. Pink 2500: Fast VCA ideal for drums and transients. Midnight E670M: Transparent Vari-Mu for broad shaping. Grey V65: Aggressive VCA with a punchy character. Secret FET: Ultra-fast FET for rhythmic material. BA-6B: A hybrid Vari-Mu described as warm and musical. Tiger Lim: A modern digital limiter for transparent peak control. A global 'Peak' button switches the detection mode for all processors between RMS (default) for smoother, average loudness detection and Peak for instant response to transients. Accompanying the compressors are seven matched preamp models, each designed to replicate the preamplification stage of its corresponding compressor. This allows you to pair authentic compression behavior with its original tone or mix and match for creative results. {PRODUCT-HEADER-33294-ink}.
