Audio Vitamins Structure

£24

This little gadget has a different outlook to the other levelling plugins here. Structure is intended to be placed first in the effects chain on multiple channels in a

whole mix, where it will analyse the loudness of the audio and apply a compensatory boost or cut, saving a long time in the pursuit of using gain or ‘trim’ plugins. You can get a start on your mixing with everything in its right sonic place, while the faders remain at zero. While the gainstaging happens automatically, further controls include the mode: 1, 2 or Master, corresponding to whether that instance of Structure is placed on a standard track, a lead track, or a bus; and a control to tell that instance (Analyse) or every instance of the plugin (All) to recalibrate. It may not ‘ride the faders’ like the others here, but it’s a useful tool for your box.
