The German manufacturer has just announced the Transpressor, a new dynamic processing tool that seeks to surpass the limitations of common compressors.
The Transpressor is the first processor that combines the two most important dynamic processing techniques: level-independent compression and treatment of transients. By blending these techniques in a single path, SPL aims to void the limitations each processor presented on its own.

DMG Audio has released EQuality, a new EQ plug-in designed by Dave Gamble (ex Sonalksis/Focusrite/Novation).
Most people have quite a collection of EQs - some are models of hardware, some are workhorse EQs for surgical correction, or for guiding a track into a mix, some are for mastering. EQuality is not a model of a specific piece of hardware - it's more ambitious than that. EQuality aims to be a great replacement for all your EQs. That's been the driving factor.
Features :
• Very low CPU usage for every track of your mix
• Linear/Analogue/Minimum phase modes for master and special channels
• Digital+ mode, to help turn awesome into perfect.
• Generates super-high-quality prototypes. Clear undistorted top.
• Big, clear, antialiased graph
• Hi-re ...

Toontrack has announced the release of a new pack of MIDI grooves called Songwriters Drumpack. Here's what they say about it :
"Wouldn't it be convenient having full verses, choruses, bridges, - complete song structures - in an array of styles, tempos and feels, categorized in separate songs with an individual hierarchy of increasing intensity? Pro-played drum MIDI that you could drag, drop and use to construct your full track in literally a few mouse-clicks?
Look no further - Songwriters Drumpack does just that. Played by Swedish in-demand session drummer Ricard "Huxflux" Nettermalm (Infinite Mass, Erik Gadd, Titiyo), this one-of-its-kind collection of drum MIDI comes in Ballad, Mid-tempo, Halftime, Up-tempo and Shuffle styles in full four to eight bar grooves and is sure to be a well of inspiration and your go-to tool for quick and easy songwriting.
With the Songwriters Drumpack you are virtually just a few moments away from a full, pro-played drum track to an entire song!"
Features :
• More than 450 individually played files
• Categorized in different songs
• Full Intro / Verse / Pre-Chorus / Chorus / Bridge / Fill sections & variations in each song
• 3/4, 4/4, 6/8 variations in Swing and/or Straight feel
