More InformationHere’s why engineers and producers fall in love with Dynamic Grading.
Dynamic Grading goes far beyond traditional dynamics processing by taking control of three distinct parts of the dynamic range, each serving a specific purpose.
Independently adjust compression or expansion ratios in the Punch, Body, and Floor of your signal for nuanced control.
Think of it like a transient shaper. Make instruments more present and upfront, or push them farther away to create depth in your mix.
Here’s where a lot of the action happens. Apply compression or expansion to only the core dynamics of the sound, without affecting transient clarity.
Make your mix shine and clean out unwanted noise. Or use this to increase or decrease reverb or room. It’s simple and almost like magic!
Dynamic Grading comes packed with features designed to achieve great sound and intuitive control without leaving you lost in a forest of knobs.
Stop guessing threshold and ratio values. Gain real-time visual insight into your audio’s dynamic range. View the input and output signals side by side to shape your sound intuitively.
The easy to use sidechain tilt filter guarantees natural-sounding results by properly accounting for the spectral balance of your audio. Our Magic Eye guides your way to the sweet spot.

There’s no shortage of articles explaining how to use audio compression. In fact, we’ve written plenty ourselves to support the audio community. From tutorials and settings guides to plugin walkthroughs, there’s more information than ever on attack times, ratios and gain reduction.
If you’ve just installed Dynamic Grading, welcome. We built this tool to give you a different way of working with dynamics. Instead of relying on single thresholds, fixed ratios and envelopes, Dynamic Grading is based on histograms and three dynamic zones: punch, body and floor.
If you’re already familiar with the concept of Dynamic Grading, you’ll know that its unique strength lies in allowing engineers to easily define and control three distinct parts of the dynamic range – Punch, Body, and Floor – alongside a suite of additional features designed to easily achieve a great sound.
