Audio professionals looking to add some analog mojo to their productions will be impressed with the Slate Digital FG-Dynamics, a software plug-in that recreates the classic warmth, color, and responsiveness of an SSL's channel dynamics section. The plug-in provides a straightforward workflow with dedicated compressor and expander/gate sections.

The FG-Dynamics automatically adjusts the make-up gain, which makes for easy tweaking when dialing in your best sound. A mix knob allows you to blend the dry signal with the processed for instant parallel compression, resulting in tighter tones and crispier results. The plug-in includes tons of presets to get you started. The FG-Dynamics is Mac and Windows compatible and can be used with most DAWs utilizing AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3 plug-in formats.

Slate's engineers worked tirelessly to deliver all the warmth, color, and responsiveness found in the legendary analog hardware to the comfort of your DAW.

FG-Dynamics is as straightforward as it looks. Unlike most compressors, FG-Dynamics adjusts your makeup gain automatically, so you can hear the tiniest changes in character with each adjustment. Trying to capture all the subtle nuances of a particular track? Slate has got you covered: the gate/expander introduces a whole other level of sonic flexibility. Plus, rather than rely on a simple fader, the new mix knob allows for instant parallel compression, meaning tighter tones and crispier results.

Whether you're a seasoned studio veteran or just getting started, FG-Dynamics will find a home in any producer's workflow thanks to its wealth of expertly crafted presets. Whether you're tweaking controls or partnering up with a VMR module like FG-S, you can't go wrong.
