Red Phatt Pro - Dynamics processor

Latest version: v1.0.3 [Jun 2009]

Red Phatt Pro provides flexible and powerful dynamics processing, including smooth and transparent dynamic range reduction, gating, expansion, and New York-style compression.

A clear, intuitive user interface displays the current input/output compressor curve and gain, and visualizes enhanced compressor use such as upward and parallel compression.

Red Phatt Pro supports mono and stereo side-chaining to process voice overlays, pumping rhythm tracks and alike. Furthermore, level detector band pass filtering and hysteresis provide enhanced control over the key signal. Different release curves can be selected including a 'hold' control to obtain smooth/transparent or warm/creative compression characteristics. A variety of categorized presets is included to quickly find optimal settings for each compression task.

The plugin comes in two flavors: the main plugin with 4 inputs that supports mono, stereo, mono sidechain and stereo sidechain configurations, and an 'alternative' version with only 2 inputs to ensure compatibility with hosts that do not support 4-channel inputs. This alternative version supports mono, stereo and mono sidechain configurations but does not support stereo sidechaining.

Specifications:

  • Zero latency processing optimized for both live and studio use;
  • Mono and stereo operation modes;
  • Support for all sampling frequencies supported by the plugin host;
  • Support for 64-bits (double-precision) audio data;
  • Mono or stereo sidechain inputs;
