music production knowledge

Venomode brings to us the infamous Complexer 2 plug-in which happens to be a multi-stage dynamics compressor that features three independently controlled dynamics processor and holds six different modes. This plug-in is a dynamics powerhouse that will let you take complete control over your tracks in a simple and intuitive way. Complexer 2 is made up and upward and downward processors, limiters, expanders and a gate that can be configurated like parallel chaining, mid/side and multi-band as well as stereo.

The plug-in will give you the ability to run the three of the onboard dynamic processors with configurable chain that can be linked in series or two of them in parallel to have maybe the third one before or after. To have control over parameters each of the processors have vas amount of control that will let you apply hold and release and attack. Complexer 2 also has the ability to look ahead of time in sections of your track to prevent and capture peaks that will eventually arrive. With detection modes like peak, RMs and average the plug-in will let you limit and apply a smooth dose of compression. These processors can be also controlled through an external sidechain.

With Complexer 2 you can choose whether you want to use the unit as a mastering, mixing or a creative tool for your productions. The plug-in has the ability to run each processor individually with its own adjustable frequency band. With two separate mid/side and stereo modes you can process left and right channels by themselves and if you are working on a mid/side mode, the plug-in will give you the chance to apply different dynamic to the mid or side channels of the audio in your track.
