Pro Compressor - Dynamics Plugin - Avid
Shape and enhance tracks quickly
Shape sounds. Enhance tracks. And breathe new life into your mixes with Pro Compressor, a high-quality AAX plugin that delivers exceptional sound quality and DSP efficiency. Based on the Avid Channel Strip plugin, which emulates the coveted dynamics characteristics of the renowned Avid System 5 console, Pro Compressor goes even further.
This incredibly flexible compressor gives you five compression modes, powerful sidechain targeting, and even parallel signal blending. Unique SMART compression mode automatically morphs signals between compression modes—so you can quickly optimize the compression for mono and multichannel material. And AAX DSP optimization lets you handle monster-sized Pro Tools | HDX mixes with ease.
Pro Compressor is included in the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle, which is also included with all Pro Tools Ultimate subscriptions and 1-Year Software Updates + Support Plans.

Features
Four advanced compression detectors, plus a unique SMART mode
Average detector levels sounds by calculating the average loudness, Peak detector optimizes sounds based on a set threshold, Fast peak detector smooths transient-heavy tracks (such as drums) using faster attack and release times, and RMS detector improves tracks with this great “all around” enhancer/optimizer—SMART mode (default) breathes life into tracks fast, compressing tracks without distortion or pumping
