Courvoisier is a single-band universal dynamics processor with adaptive attack and release algorithms optimized for complex program material (mixes and submixes).

Courvoisier uses free-form curves drawn over the histogram of incoming audio material (as opposed to traditional ratio and threshold parameters) to determine the transfer function of the processing.

• Histogram representation (sliding-window statistics)of incoming program material and the resulting gain change on which the transfer function can be drawn
• Free-form upward and downward compression and/or expansion
• Spline interpolated control curves
• All performance-critical code optimized in assembly (utilizing SSE2 flow instructions)
• Two different adaptive attack algorithms (program dependent)
• Adaptive release algorithm (program dependent, scalable)
• Additional user defined adaptive release behavior
• Side chain filtering (low and high pass)
• MS operation (with support for different transfer curves for Mid and Side channels)
• Stereo operation (adjustable stereo link)
• Dry mix option for parallel processing
• Peak, RMS and Hybrid level detection
• Very low harmonic distortion (THD during normal operation is below -105 dB FS)
• Lookahead processing for minimizing distortion with extremely fast attack settings
• Complex mode (oversampling with a twist)
