Midas-Powered Dynamics Plug-In with Hardware Control

The TC Electronic DYN 3000-DT equips your studio with acclaimed Midas-powered dynamics control in a desktop-controlled plug-in. Top live and studio engineers swear by the Midas sound. The warmth, depth, spatial and ambient detail, and organic nature of that sound is the result of decades of circuit design experience and the use of top-drawer componentry. You’ll find it all in the TC Electronic DYN 3000-DT, a software plug-in that gives you Michelangelo-grade sculpting control, along with the clarity and punch associated with classic vintage British console designs. But you don’t need to marry your mouse to use the DYN 3000-DT.

Legendary Midas dynamics processing

TC Electronic’s DYN 3000-DT delivers legendary Midas dynamics processing, long coveted for its rich, warm sonic performance and flexibility. You get powerful, versatile compressor and gate effects based on the Midas Heritage 3000 console, along with the tactile advantages of hardware control. The plug-in offers unlimited functionality and a high-resolution interface in the digital realm. But it's fully compatible with the included Icon Series desktop interface, which offers precise, intuitive, and immediate hands-on access to all key settings via four dedicated buttons, three true-analog rotary encoders, and a crisp 2.4-inch, 240 x 320 color TFT display.

Software + hardware: complete creative control

Now you can deploy legendary Midas dynamics processing right in your DAW, and reap the advantages of plug-in integration, automation, and project recall — along with the immediacy of hands-on hardware control. On your desk, a sleek desktop control unit puts the all parameters right at your fingertips, giving you everything you need to put the finishing touches on your next sonic masterpiece. Our engineers have put the DYN 3000-DT to the test in Sweetwater Studios, and are mightily impressed. TC Electronic’s hardware-controlled software approach is a winner.

This is a great investment

This was discouraging at first seeing nobody wrote a review on this compressor.It's simply just Fantastic you can use in many different instances. This is a great plugin to add to a mixed bus, Or drums or even a single kick track. Instruments etc….. This is a great investment if your taking your mixes to the next level….

Great for the hands-on types

I started recording on old 8 track home recorders and portastudios, and the thing I missed most when switching to computer based recordings was physical touch. I'm a sucker for knobs and faders, so of course I was attracted to this line of plug-in controllers from TC.

The physical controller feels great. The knobs feel good and smooth, the button layout makes controlling the plug-in feel easy and intuitive. The display is nice too, bright and clear, with a sensible graphic displaying your parameters and changes.

As for the plug-in itself, it's another win for me. If you know how to work a compressor, you'll have no trouble figuring this one out, and personally I like the layout and flow found with this unit. It just feels more intuitive to me than some of the others I work with or have worked with.

I would definitely recommend this unit or any of TC's other controllers to someone wanting to set their mouse aside and get a little more physical with their mixing. I don't think the plug-in itself does compression better or worse than the other compressors I use, so it's really all about the physical control.
