Oxford Dynamics

Modelled on the dynamics section of the OXF-R3 console, the Oxford Dynamics plug-in provides separate functions for Compression, Limiting, Expansion, Gating, and side chain EQ, all with full independent control. Its selectable time constant curves and variable soft compress functions handle everything from subtle level control to creative artistic effects. Its feed-forward architecture ensures exemplary sonic characteristics and dynamic accuracy.
