Priority-based multiband ducker with psychoacoustic modeling

Control The Mix

Hypressor detects acoustic clashes between input channels and intelligently prevents them.

It uses psychoacoustic modeling to accurately determine if sounds clash with each other under realistic human hearing.

Hypressor allows you to specify 4 frequency bands and pick which inputs are the most important to hear in each band.

Features

Controls

Inputs

Close-up view of the Hypressor input controls

4 stereo inputs. Inputs can be linked together to be treated as a single input for ducking purposes.

Input volume meters cover -30dB to +6dB.

Band Priority Controls

Close-up view of the band priority control table

Adjust the cutoffs of the 4 bands to match the spectrum of your audio, and adjust the priority of channels in each band.

If a lower-priority channel’s audio clashes with a higher-priority channel in that band, the lower-priority channel will be ducked just the right amount to prevent clashing.

The black circles next to each channel indicator display how much the channel is ducked in that band, from 0dB to -36dB.

Psychoacoustic Modeling Control

Adjust the strength of the psychoacoustic modeling algorithm. The algorithm uses experimentally derived data to model the human hearing system and detect clashes that occur even if the sounds aren’t at exactly the same frequency.

Turning the strength of the psychoacoustic modeling to 0% will result in a more “clinical” sound, where only frequencies that precisely overlap with each other are considered to clash.

Spectrum Analyzer

Analyzes the energy content of each input signal from C1 up to B8, and displays where your band cutoffs fall on the musical scale. Each energy detector has an optimal temporal response, resulting in extremely fast response time (if desired).

Algorithm Parameters

Close-up view of the detailed algorithm controls

Hypressor’s detailed controls allow you to disable individual bands, adjust the response speed of each band, adjust input sensitivity, and adjust per-channel dry/wet output.

The black circles display the current ducking level of each channel/band, from 0dB to -36dB.
