The ACM510XA plug-in offers a comprehensive channel dynamics processing solution by combining a compressor and an expander/gate within a sleek, modern user interface. Designed as a virtual 500-series module, it provides users with precise control over audio dynamics, suitable for both mono and stereo tracks. Its design focuses on delivering professional-quality sound processing for digital audio workstations while maintaining efficient CPU usage.

This plug-in features both hard and soft-knee compression modes, allowing smooth transitions in dynamic control, alongside auto gain-makeup to maintain consistent output levels. The expander/gate includes threshold hysteresis to prevent unwanted noise and ensure reliable operation. Fast attack settings and program-dependent release times help tailor the dynamics response to various audio material, enhancing the overall mix clarity and punch.

With a resizable interface and physically modeled rotary controls, the ACM510XA combines ease of use with a tactile experience reminiscent of classic analogue compressors. It operates without zipper noise during parameter adjustments, ensuring smooth workflow. Compatible with VST, VST3, AAX, and CLAP formats on Windows and Linux systems, this plug-in is straightforward to install and integrates seamlessly into diverse production setups.
