Using Drawmer Dynamics
Drawmer Dynamics is a real-time TDM plug-in.
It processes audio non-destructively in real time.
It does not alter the original source audio, but
only applies its effects during playback.
Using Plug-Ins as Inserts
To use the Drawmer Dynamics plug-in, you
must insert it in-line on an audio track, Auxil-
iary Input, or a Master Fader.
When more than one insert is used on a track,
they process the audio in series, each effect be-
ing added to the previous one, from top to bot-
tom in the Mix window.
Pre-Fader Operation
Drawmer Dynamics functions as a pre-fader in-
sert, meaning that its level is not affected by a
track’s volume fader (except when used on a
Master Fader).
For this reason, clipping can occur if you boost
its gain to extremes. This is particularly true on
tracks recorded at high amplitude. Watch on-
screen metering to identify and rectify clipping
if it occurs.
Inserting Drawmer Dynamics
