MDWDRC2-Native Pro Tools Production Expert Review

Production Experts Gold Award “Responding primarily to loudness as opposed to signal levels alone, MDWDRC2 sets out to surpass the traditional combination of fader rides and compression. This promises automatic transparent level control of even the greatest of dynamic extremes”

The review includes two example videos showing how the DRC2 can control levels without the artefacts associated with other dynamics control plugins.

What the reviewers are saying about MDWDRC2-Native…

MDWDRC2-Native - Incredible transparency: 15 dB of gain reduction on a solo piano - I couldn’t achieve this using any other dynamics tools I currently have.

Mike Thorne

Production Expert

I never thought that it would be possible to apply ‘healthy’ levels of reduction to something like classical piano without breaking things, but MDWDRC2-Native agrees to differ.

Luke Goddard

Production Expert

MDWDRC2-Native is an incredibly powerful device for controlling the dynamics of a source without destroying the original intent of the recording

Mike Exeter

Production Expert

The MDWDRC2-Native is by far the most transparent dynamics plugin in my folder. My main selling points are how different this plugin is from all my other compressor/limiters, along with how great it sounds – or doesn't sound

Recording Magazine

MDWDRC2 Dynamics Range Controller is revolutionary and I'm incorporating it in every mix for every use from natural sounding and gentle control to typical Pop music treatments and then for radical sound design and wacky effects. I'm hooked on it and have already have started a good collection of presets!

MDWDRC2-Native is unbelievably transparent like no other dynamics processor & arguably the most capable plug-in for leveling vocals, speech and dialog. Flexible enough to take on music or post-production with ease.

MDWDRC2‑Native is a genuinely different dynamics plug‑in that has a unique ability to iron out level variations without sounding like it’s doing anything at all. If you demo it, you might find it hard to live without it.

Love the way the MDWDRC2-Native doesn't make vocals sound edgy. it’s so much fun to use the main gain and threshold controls to bring up the low level program. This is what we always wish existed. This and MDWEQ6. Fantastic!

'Shaman - MDWDRC2 is the most revolutionary audio tool' • 'oøt -This is such a great tool. It's now my go to for all sorts of tasks. Completely incredible on vocals!' • 'Polybonk - Totally worth the asking price. Amazing. It is insane how under the radar it is.' • 'Scott W - I don't use any other EQ or comp plugin any more. Sounds above anything else I know'
