First Pro Tools|HD Accel-Optimized Plug-In AnnouncedImpact Console-Style Mix Bus Compression Plug-in  September 15, 2003Digidesign announced Impact, the first Digidesign TDM plug-in optimized for the new Pro Tools|HD Accel PCI cards with Pro Tools TDM 6.2 software. Impact brings console-style mix bus compression to Pro Tools via a familiar user interface and control set. Impact offers support for multichannel tracks up to 7.1 and sampling rates up to 192 kHz.
Impact's clean and well-organized user interface emulates the look of a console mix bus compressor. Its control set includes four selectable compression ratios and variable controls for Attack, Release, Threshold, and Make-up Gain. The Impact compressor interface also includes a Gain Reduction meter that replicates an analog meter with an animated bouncing needle as it meters gain reduction. The Impact compressor also includes a side-chain input, allowing any Pro Tools audio track to be used as an external key.
