CX1V compressor / expander
Overview
CX1V is a professional compressor/expander plug-in.
to use interface that drives a sophisticated and flexible dynamic control
algorithm.
The wide number of control parameters and features (e.g. look ahead,
hard/soft knee), makes the CX1V the tool of choice to control the dynamic of
vocal parts, instruments or complex mixes. Additionally, the expansion
capability of the CX1V can be used to improve old audio recordings by
restoring a more natural dynamic and an improved signal to noise ratio.
CX1V compressor/expander has been designed to obtain an extremely
transparent action with a natural and smooth response.
