Musical Multimodality: Compression, Limiting, Distortion, and More
When your track needs a good Smack!, Avid’s multimode plug-in is packed with dynamics-shaping processing power that Sweetwater Studios’ engineers agree is critical for every setup. Smack! strikes the elusive balance of flexibility and ferocity, capable of use in virtually any arrangement, style, or genre, with a premium placed on the musicality of its output. Across three compression modes, a triplet of sidechain EQs, and a trio of distortion modes, harmonic color and blistering depth are yours to contour, complemented by distinct compression ratios, analog-style character, multichannel support, and real-time visual feedback. Moreover, a dedicated electro-optical limiter keeps time-tested tone shaping at the ready, while the plug-in’s processing power supports session sample rates up to a staggering 192kHz. With subtle compression, hard limiting, vintage-inspired distortion, and polychromic texturization marking only the tip of the iceberg, the Avid Smack! plug-in is your all-encompassing solution to serious sonic possibilities.
