Developed by Paul Frindle, a renowned figure in audio engineering known for his work on legendary consoles, this Dynamic Spectrum Mapper (DSM) plugin offers advanced control over the spectral and dynamic qualities of your audio. It combines innovative processing algorithms to deliver precise control for compression, expansion, vocal enhancement, and instrument shaping, enabling users to achieve professional results quickly. Its unique program capture technology allows you to extract and apply spectral characteristics dynamically, making it a powerful tool throughout recording, mixing, and mastering stages.

DSM V3 excels in tasks such as matching tracks during mastering, balancing challenging audio in mixes, and serving as an effective De-Esser. Unlike conventional EQ matching, it dynamically impresses the signature sound of one track onto another, providing more natural and believable results. With over three times the frequency bands of typical multiband compressors, it offers detailed control especially in the mid and high frequencies where vocal timbre and character reside. Its proprietary Capture System uses both spectral and dynamic data to create a threshold curve that ensures smooth, transparent compression and expansion while preserving transients and tonal integrity.

The latest DSM V3 introduces an Expand mode, fully active spectral sidechain input, and improved user interface with drag handles for precise spectrum adjustments. Its mastering limiter is designed to be transparent below -1dBFS, processing only peaks to maintain the integrity of the audio. The plugin supports parallel compression with a dry/wet mix control and allows importing of capture curves from previous versions. Enhanced workflow features and a scalable GUI make DSM V3 a sophisticated solution for audio professionals seeking detailed spectral and dynamic shaping with minimal compromise to the original sound.
