Ayaic has released Dragon Fader, describing it as a premium LUFS leveler designed to beautifully “ride” any audio signal.
While modern levelers rely on AI, Dragon Fader uses one of the most transparent compressor/expanders ever created to deliver flawless, natural results—while keeping you in complete control. Packed full of advanced features and powerful side-chain capabilities, it goes far beyond standard compression to give you total creative freedom over your level-shaping.
Whether you are a Producer, Mix/Mastering Engineer, Musician or Singer/Songwriter, the Dragon Fader will help you shape your audio levels around a target LUFS.
Features
- Automatically adjusts gain to meet target LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) while preserving the dynamic character of the source.
- Uses a highly transparent design to avoid coloration, ensuring the processed audio sounds as close as possible to the original.
- Offers powerful side-chain options for creative ducking, expansion, and dynamic shaping beyond standard compression.
- Goes far beyond basic compression, allowing you to sculpt dynamics in ways that suit your artistic vision.
- Delivers smooth, musical level changes without the harshness or unnatural compression often found in AI-driven tools.
- Four modes: FREE, INT, WRITE and READ. INT analyses the source file of the track in advance.
- Target from -50 to -10 LUFS, measured to BS.1770. Fader range from -20 to +30 dB.
- True peak brickwall limiter, four times oversampled and checked against a sixteen-fold reference. No extra headroom needed.
- Seven Level Planes, shared by every instance. Quick Set picks one with a click.
- The same latency in every mode, so your DAW never rebuilds when you switch.
- 106 factory presets. Stereo or mono, sidechain mono or stereo.
