Waves IDX Intelligent Dynamics - Frequency-Dependent Energy Compressor Plugin

Waves IDX Intelligent Dynamics - Frequency-Dependent Energy Compressor Plugin

Waves IDX Intelligent Dynamics is a smart frequency-dependent compressor that optimises your tracks' energy for greater punch and focus, with just one main knob. Using multiple detectors across the frequency range, it shapes the envelope for an in-your-face sound without losing depth.

Its algorithm identifies the busiest areas of the spectrum, those that use energy without contributing to tone, and compresses them with progressive attenuation. The frequencies that define a track's character gain a relative advantage and stand out, giving a solid foundation for the rest of your mix.

• Instantly optimises track energy for punch and focus
• Brings elements forward and adds definition
• Frequency-dependent progressive attenuation
• Quick Match control balances input and output levels
• Hard and Soft modes plus Tilt tone control
• Zero-latency version for live sound
