PSPaudioware – PSP Levelizer v1.0.1 VST, VST3, AAX for Windows

• Transparent Auto-Fader Action: Emulates the natural hand movements of a mixing engineer riding a console fader, keeping track dynamics firmly anchored without squashing transient punch.
• Dual Operating Modes (Target vs. Follow):
  • Target Level Mode: Automatically rides incoming audio toward a user-defined target output level.
  • External Follow Mode: Modulates track levels to mirror or duck against an external sidechain guide track for creative cross-track leveling.
• Three Selectable Reaction Modes:
  • Sharp: Fast, transient-conscious response optimized for rapid speech transients, podcasting, and erratic acoustic performances.
  • Normal: Musical, balanced time constants designed for lead vocals, acoustic guitars, and solo instruments.
  • Smooth: Slow, macroscopic gain leveling ideal for bass guitars, backing vocal stems, and mix sub-groups.
• Advanced Lookahead Architecture: Analyzes incoming peaks milliseconds prior to fader adjustments, preventing abrupt clamp-downs or audible lag.
• Internal Sidechain Equalizer: Dedicated filtering section to tune the detector’s sensitivity (e.g., rolling off sub-bass rumble or de-emphasizing vocal sibilants to prevent uneven gain rides).
• Integrated Mastering-Grade Limiter: Onboard brickwall peak limiter equipped with variable Drive, Output Ceiling, Release shaping, and stereo link options for output clipping protection.

1. Lead Vocal Riding (Pre-Compression):

   • Placed at the very front of a vocal chain to tame excessive dynamic swings before hitting vintage opto or FET compressors, preventing compressor over-reaction.

2. Bass Guitar Leveling:

   • Smooths out fingerstyle and pick velocity inconsistencies on electric DI and upright bass tracks, locking the low end directly into the kick drum groove.

3. Dialog, Voiceover & Podcasting:

   • Automatically standardizes speech levels between different speakers or varying mic distances in post-production with zero audible pumping.

4. Stem & Sub-Mix Consistency:

   • Manages varying stem levels across busy arrangement changes without introducing coloring EQ shifts.

• Binary Architecture: Native 64-bit Windows VST2, VST3, and AAX Native
• DSP Engine: 64-bit double-precision floating-point signal processing
• Sample Rate Support: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz
• Sidechain Routing: Internal detection filter and external sidechain busing (DAW routing dependent)
