Dynamics
Acon Digital's Dynamics is a fantastic all-in-one plugin for compression, expansion, and gating, all visible in real time via an easy-to-navigate interface. Its advanced algorithms handle everything from a 0–30-millisecond look-ahead to 4x oversampling, a fully customizable sidechain, and much more. There's even an auto-release mode that dynamically changes release times based on your audio and a range control to limit maximum gain. Robust features like these made it a no-brainer for many Sweetwater producers to add this impressive plugin suite to their arsenal.
Multiband Dynamics
Building on the blueprint of Acon Digital's Dynamics plugin is Multiband Dynamics. Assign this plugin to your tracks and get up to four bands of dynamic processing to tweak to sonic perfection. Features like crossover frequencies and filter slopes are easily adjustable to your tastes, all done through mixed-phase filtering to counter any pre-ringing that may occur.
Limit
In need of a rock-solid limiter with more than a few secrets under the hood? Turn to Acon Digital's Limit. This transparent limiting plugin boasts 0–30 milliseconds of look-ahead time to tackle distortion before it ever reaches your ears, executed through a 2-step process: a pre-compressor followed by the limiting algorithm. This results in impeccably clean audio, with an option for up to 4x oversampling to reduce distortion even further.
Equalize 2
Whether you're just getting started on your production path or have worked in countless studio spaces over the years, it's critical to have a top-notch EQ plugin on standby. Acon Digital's Equalize 2 — an ultra-powerful EQ designed with the user in mind — is here to fill the slot. This easy-to-use plugin goes above and beyond your standard parametric EQ, giving you control over center frequency, gain, and bandwidths, as well as filter slopes for each of its eight band types. Up to 12 independent bands are at your disposal, with three different phase modes built right in for enhanced versatility. Rounding out Equalize 2 is a one-of-a-kind mixed-phase mode with an adjustable latency from 5 to 120 milliseconds to eliminate pesky pre-ringing artifacts.
Dither
Dithering is a crucial aspect of the mastering process, and Acon Digital's Dither plugin does the job exceptionally well. This incredibly flexible and versatile plugin comes stock with maximum gain and filter length controls, and a simple and clean interface that ensures you always know what's happening.
Verberate 2
When it comes to “legit” reverb — that is, reverb that represents a real physical space — sound quality is paramount. Acon Digital Verberate 2 does it right, simulating natural acoustical surroundings with stunning realism. Verberate 1 raised the bar for natural-sounding reverb, and now, Verberate 2 ups the ante with Acon Digital’s amazing Vivid Hall algorithm that adds time variance to avoid the telltale “stiffness” that bedevils convolution-based reverbs while preserving the uncanny sonic realism of Verberate 1’s high-density reverb tails.
