Multi-band frequency-selective dynamics processor

Applications :

The 'frequency selective' processing employed by the CQ1 is far more sophisticated than standard 'frequency conscious' multi-band compression. The CQ1 greatly extends the possibilities of dynamics processors with the ability to refine specific frequency compression or expansion with unparalleled accuracy. Although it uses the same dynamic-EQ principle as the DQ1, the CQ1 is designed primarily to provide gentle or aggressive shaping of the signal dynamics in explicit frequency bands, rather than the subtle frequency sculpting of the DQ1.

In addition to general program compression/expansion, the CQ1 will find uses in applications that may otherwise present difficulties for less flexible processors, including Multi-source separation, High/Low frequency enhancement, Transient enhancement and De-essing or Pop/Squeak reduction.

Features :

• Zero latency: absolutely no internal delay whatsoever
• 64bit floating point internal precision throughout
• Ultra efficient processing, with specific optimisations for native processors
• Up to 192 kHz support
• Support for most formats on Mac & PC platforms
