A dynamics processor allows you to control the level (volume) of your audio. When set up correctly, it does this in a transparent way, not making hugely noticeable alterations to the sound, but nevertheless giving you the control that you may need. Radio stations, television stations, pro club DJs, etc, use dynamics processors.
With CD Scratch you receive a fully fledged, pro-quality dynamics processor comprising AGC, compressor and limiter. Full control is given to each of the characteristics of each processor section. You can duplicate a squashy or punchy radio sound if you like, but you can also obtain smooth, consistent audio that is not noticeably altered from the original. Whatever your requirements are at anytime, you can quickly adjust the settings and your levels will be handled professionally.

Ever noticed how CDs often vary greatly in volume? You have the volume set just perfectly, then another song comes on from another CD and it's either way too loud, or too quiet. The Ots Labs Dynamics Processor handles this problem with style.
If you have background music playing in an office environment, or music during dinner, it is not supposed to be too all-encompassing, and consequently dynamics can present a problem. You want the music to be heard, but not annoying, or distracting to conversation. The normal dynamic range of a CD is almost as high as that of the human ear. CDs are mastered by audio engineers to sound great when you are fully focused and the music is the centre of your attention.

The Ots Labs Dynamics Processor presets will help you in this regard.
