Frequently Asked Questions
What additional processing capabilities does the dPACK upgrade unlock for the Avantis?
The dPACK adds DEEP compressor emulations, up to 16 instances of Dyn8 dynamic EQ and multiband compression, and Dual Stage Valve Preamp simulation—all with zero latency.
Why would a broadcast or recording facility benefit from the DEEP compressor emulations?
DEEP emulations model classic analog compression behavior, enabling professional sound shaping and dynamics processing that matches industry-standard outboard gear.
What is dynamic EQ and how does the Dyn8 tool enhance mixing?
