APU Software has announced the release of APU Dynamics Optimizer, a dynamics optimization tool designed to support modern loudness types (LUFS, True Peak).
Underneath the hood, the optimizer uses the same compression engine as the APU Loudness Compressor, but benefits from the full audio waveform instead of real-time measurements. This allows the gain envelope to be meticulously optimized across the entire waveform.
The design of this tool allows you to very precisely target a specific average LUFS and dynamic range. Once the gain envelope has been optimized, you can playback the result in real-time while adjusting the character of the sound with the same collection of parameters from the compressor plug-in.
Price: $40, or bundled with compressor for $55.
