Roger Nichols launches Digital Detailer DAW plug-in 06/10/06
Roger Nichols
Digital have been demonstrating the new
Detailer plug-in that
combines a three-band limiter
with dynamic widening using psychoacoustic
processing.
Here’s what RND have to say about the detailer in their own words…
This is the first RND plug-in to be developed
specifically by Session Guru Roger Nichols, using his in-session experience across literally hundreds of projects.
Having worked with the crème de la crème of the world’s most successful artists – and picking up seven Grammy
Awards in the process – Roger Nichols knows of what he speaks. His proven hands-on experience is now offered
to all DAW users in this truly scintillating plug-in, available in Universal Binary RTAS, VST, AU for Mac OSX plus
RTAS and VST for Windows.
What’s in the Details?
Detailer – originally codenamed “Bitchin-izer� - is a stereo mastering tool or a final mix plug-in for your DAW’s
master fader. Detailer offers a new way of increasing the “detail� in a final mix while still allowing increased
loudness. The process involves a combination of a three-band limiter and dynamic widening using psycho-acoustic
processing. Roger Nichols has fine tuned the process so that you can produce the most effective result with the
least amount of adjustment.
Three is better than one
Detailer splits the incoming signal into three frequency bands that are each processed independently. Great care
has been taken to eliminate phase shifts at the crossover points, a common problem with multiband plug-ins.
Once the signal processing is complete, the three bands are recombined into a full frequency band signal.
Dynamic widening without the mud
Detailer uses spectral harmonic detection and intelligent parameter adjustment to apply its innovative dynamicwidening
processes only where and when they are useful.
Make it loud, please
Using the advanced limiting algorithms from our highly acclaimed Finis plug-in ensures maximum audio levels - if
that’s needed - while preserving audio dynamics. Using Detailer along with Dynam-izer will give you the loudest
mixes on the planet, and leave your dynamics intact.
What you see is what you get
A comprehensive set of meters lets you adjust Detailer settings to perfectly match the specific characteristics of
your audio signals.
