TDR Kotelnikov GE

About

TDR Kotelnikov is a wideband dynamics processor combining high fidelity dynamic range control with deep musical flexibility. As a descendant of the venerable TDR Feedback Compressor product family, Kotelnikov has directly inherited several unique features such as a proven control scheme, individual release control for peak and RMS content, an intuitive user interface, and powerful, state of the art, high-precision algorithms.

With a sonic signature best described as “stealthy”, Kotelnikov has the ability to manipulate the dynamic range by dramatic amounts, while carefully preserving the original tone, timbre and punch of a musical signal. As such, it is perfectly suited to stereo bus compression as well as other critical applications.

Features

• 64-bit multi-rate processing structure for highest accuracy
• “Delta” oversampled signal path (bit transparent at 0dB gain reduction)
• Super fast, yet natural sounding compression
• “Crest factor” based control scheme offering independent release controls for peak and RMS events
• Flexible sidechain highpass filter offering continuously variable control over slope and frequency
• Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus
• Delta preview (the difference between compressed and original signal)
• Latency compensated parallel bypass (i.e. processing not interrupted)
• Extensive documentation
• User interface rescaling (100%, 125%, 150%)
• External sidechain input
• Inertia timing mode
• Continuously variable control over “low relax” slope
• Left/Right sensitivity
• Powerful frequency-dependent ratio function (FDR)
• Gain reduction limit control
• Yin/Yang modes (manipulates the compressor’s own distortion behaviour)
• Equal loudness output gain trimming
• Equal loudness bypass
• Additional quality modes “Insane” and “Live” (low latency)
• New “Advanced” stereo linking mode
• 10 additional user preset slots
