Wave Rider analyzes audio signal level of tracks and creates real-time volume automation information.

The main advantage of Wave Rider over standard dynamics control plug-ins is that Wave Rider attenuates or increases the levels depending on the incoming level, resulting in a smooth, uncolored signal. After an automation pass, Wave Rider can be taken off the track, and the automation can be altered if so desired.

Features:

• Maintain a user selectable nominal output level on the inserted track.
• Apply automatic "ducking" via volume faders, and not rely on third party compressors.
• "Auto Park" faders during silence, creating automatic mixing capabilities.
