db audioware Upgrades Sidechain Compressor & Gate Plug-ins



db audioware has released version 1.1.0 upgrades of Sidechain Compressor and Sidechain Gate, its latest two dynamics processing plug-ins. All the enhancements in the release have been suggested by users since the plug-ins were launched in July 2007.

Sidechain Compressor gets a new manual Gain control, which can either be used independently for manual gain make-up, or to fine tune output levels when used with Auto Gain. This rounds out the Compressor's feature set and greatly improves its operation as a standard insert effect.

Both Sidechain Compressor and Sidechain Gate get enhanced external side-chain capability. It is now possible to side-chain multiple "receive" plug-ins from a single "send" plug-in, opening the way to one-to-many-tracks as well as one-to-one-track side-chain applications.

Finally, the noise bursts in the demo versions of both plug-ins have been reduced in repetition and volume so as to be less intrusive to potential users trying them out.

Major changes this release include:

* Feature: Added Gain control to allow manual gain make-up and fine adjustment of the output (compressor only)
* Feature: It is now possible to connect multiple "receive" plug-ins to each Universal Sidechain
* Bug fix: fixed intermittent crash when Listen switch selected
* Bug fix: OS X installer was not working for users lacking admin rights

Registered owners of Sidechain Compressor and Sidechain Gate can download upgrades free of charge from their personal support page in the db audioware customer support centre website.

Sidechain Compressor and Sidechain Gate each retail at USD 84 | EUR 62 | GBP 42 and are available for immediate purchase and download from the db audioware website.

A reduced price bundle of both plug-ins is also offered at USD 126 | EUR 93 | GBP 63, a saving of 25%.
