Скачать или смотреть Audiothing Type X // My 10 Minute Walkthrough, Demo, Review (Plugin & Standalone, Desktop & iOS)

This is my review, demo and walkthrough of Audiothing Type X, an emulation of the dbx® Model 1BX, a hardware dynamics expander released in 1978. The main use case is to ‘add life, punch, and presence to any track by dynamically increasing the difference between loud and soft passages’. Type X is available as a standalone app an in various plugin formats, for iPad, iPhone, Windows, Linux and Mac.

Some info below from a vintage review of the original hardware! Taken from https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Arc...

The dbx Model IBX is a single-band device
incorporating several novel circuit techniques that permit dynamic-range expansion to be carried out without audible side effects. It is meant to be inserted into the signal path of an amplifier or receiver through its tape-monitoring circuit. and it has its own tape-recording inputs and outputs to replace those of the main amplifier.

The dbx Model IBX has two major operating controls, both horizontal sliders. The EXPANSION control, calibrated from 1.0 to 1.5, varies the slope of the output/input characteristic of the unit. When it is set to 1.0 (no ex-pansion), a 10-dB change of input level produces a I0-dB change at the output. At the other extreme (1.5), a I0-dB input change (either up or down in level) results in a 1S-dB change at the output. At intermediate settings the indicated relationship exists between input and output signal variations.

Unlike some other expander designs, the dbx unit has a constant slope for all signal lev-els.
There is no distinet threshold above which expansion takes place, and the continuous nature of its action helps to make it un-detectable. A second slider, marked TRANSITION LEVEL. adjusts the operating range of the Model IBX to fall within the range of input signal levels. The operation of the expander is shown at all times by a row of ten LED's across the top of its panel. The five at the left are yellow and indicate that the gain of the unit is less than unity: those at the right are red and indicate a gain greater than unity.

In normal operation, the TRANSITION LEVEL slider control is set so that the lights around the center of the display glow at average program levels.with peaks lighting the red LED's and the yellow ones coming on during quiet passages or pauses. There are pushbuttons for POWER and TAPE/SOURCE selection (the latter replacing the function of the amplifier's tape-monitor-ing switch, which must be set to TAPE when using the expander). Another button, marked PRE/POST, enables the expander action to be applied to a signal before it goes to a tape recorder (PRE), or to the playback signal frem the recorder (POST). The PRE type of operation must be used with care to avoid exceeding the dynamic range of the recorder (espe-cially a cassette deck), although it can provide some noise reduction if used in moderation.
