Dan Worrall is back with an Introduction to POWAIR®, a compressor plugin from Sound Radix that might change the way you approach dynamics processing.

In some cases, we’re solving problems, like erratic dynamics in a performance. Other times, it is an artistic tool, used to color an instrument and change its overall timbre. Compression can reshape transients, or alter the amount of ambience in a recording. As loudness standards for broadcast and streaming music services evolve, so do the roles of volume leveling and peak limiting. • We often seek a combination of these compression functions, and as a result, “stack” plug-ins on a single track or bus. Rather than having to bounce around between a number of plug-in windows, compensating for the interactions between these effects, using POWAIR brings all of these processor types into one clean, simple GUI. Without flipping through pages or tabs, multiple compression types can be addressed while being analyzed with a single set of powerful metering tools. • What makes POWAIR really special, however, goes beyond merely aggregating processors into a single toolkit. It’s all about giving you flavor when you want it and unprecedented transparency when you don’t. The core compression stage doesn’t rely on a traditional envelope follower to calculate the signal and gain reduction. This allows it to adapt to the signal in a way that produces a purer sound, truer to its unprocessed state. POWAIR also utilizes proprietary controls which can alleviate common compression pitfalls and trade-offs. • Adaptive Compression • A couple of years ago at the AES show, multi-GRAMMY-award winner Frank Filipeti pulled us aside and said (more or less in these words), “Listen, guys, I’m working on a vocal track, and I get the compressor to work all smooth and nice on one section, and then when the loud part comes in, the compressor over-compresses and kills my sound. Now, I could automate the threshold, but what I really want is a compressor that will keep the sound that I had in the soM part, in the loud part as well. Can you do it?” After a few drinks and sleepless nights, we’re happy to say, “Yes we can!” In an industry first, POWAIR features Adaptive Compression to maintain consistent compression effects across different signal levels, adding intensity and glue, while keeping the natural dynamics of the recording. • Punch • The unique Punch feature enables full control over transients’ levels during the compressor’s attack period. This makes shaping transients’ lengths and smoothing transients’ levels completely independent functions. • Auto-Leveler • There are several tools on the market that can ride a virtual fader to preset target level, and others that can normalize an offline signal to a standardized LKFS loudness level. RealJme, automatic level-riding based on an ITU-R BS.1770 target level, aided by a customizable speed and range, makes POWAIR’s auto-leveler a one-of-a-kind tool.
