GYGO Dynamics is a two-sided leveler. Instead of one compressor threshold, it works both directions at once: it tames loud peaks down and lifts quiet passages up, toward a target window you can see and drag directly on a live map of your signal.
Use it on a vocal that swings from a whisper to a shout and needs both ends brought into a controllable window without three plugins stacked to do it. Use it on a bus or a full mix as a gentle, program-dependent leveler that keeps quiet sections present and loud sections in check without obvious compression pumping. Use it on podcast or dialogue tracks where consistent perceived loudness matters more than a specific compression curve. And use the live map itself as a diagnostic — watching the white input trace against the red output trace shows exactly where and how much gain is being applied, moment to moment.
GYGO Dynamics is a two-sided leveler. It tames loud peaks down and lifts quiet passages up toward a target window, and shows you that window live on the Dynamic Map — a real-time display of your signal with two draggable lines: a red ceiling for loud material and a blue floor for quiet material. Drag either line right on the waveform, or use the Tame Loud and Lift Quiet knobs below — they're the same two parameters, so moving one always moves the other.
The white trace is your input signal. The red trace is the processed output, drawn on top so you can see exactly what's being pulled down or pushed up in real time. The two horizontal lines are the window boundaries:
Click and drag either line to reposition it directly — this is often faster than reaching for a knob, especially while listening. The readout in the top right shows live applied gain (GAIN), transport position, and a PLAYING/READY status. Small IN/OUT meters on the right edge of the map show input and output peak level.
Sets the loud threshold — the same value as the red line on the map. Turn up for stronger control over peaks; turn down to let more through untouched. Peaks are caught quickly and released smoothly, so taming stays controlled without obvious pumping.
Sets the quiet threshold — the same value as the blue line on the map. Turn up to reveal more low-level detail. The lift uses a slower, perceptual sense of level rather than reacting to every instantaneous dip, so it reads as a natural rise in presence rather than a chase of the noise floor.
How quickly the leveler follows changing material. Faster settings react to shorter dynamic swings; slower settings smooth over quick fluctuations and only respond to sustained level changes.
Adds smoothness to gain movement without freezing it in place. Higher values make the leveling feel calmer and less reactive to momentary spikes or dips, while still tracking the overall dynamic shape of the material.
The overall strength of both the loud-taming and quiet-lifting effect at once. Lower Mix values blend in a lighter touch on both sides together; 100% applies the full effect as set by the Tame Loud and Lift Quiet thresholds.
A final trim applied after leveling, before the signal leaves the plugin. Use it to match level with the rest of your session, not to compensate for the ceiling — the ceiling already keeps peaks below 0 dBFS by design.
