Mix bus and mastering compressor, stereo & multi-channel
The creative workflow is just amazing. With Dolby Atmos Composer, the 3D reverb Spacelab, and finally the Mastering Console with gravitas MDS dynamics you get breathtaking results fast. I love the fact that you can easily expand your existing stereo mixes to Atmos or even mix in Stereo and Atmos at the same time.

Really any format
Gravitas MDS works on anything, from mono and stereo up to 128 channels. In stereo mode it offers optional Mid/Side processing and using it as a multi-channel compressor you can adjust the LFE channels separately. Gravitas MDS also offers a multi-channel sidechain input for maximum flexibility.
Dolby Atmos mix compression
Integrated into the Dolby Atmos Composer and the Mastering Console, gravitas MDS is the only multi-channel mastering compressor capable of processing your entire Dolby Atmos mix, be it a mixing session or an imported ADM/BWF file. In the Dolby Atmos Composer gravitas MDS offers a sidechain input.
Above and below the threshold
The unique DSP algorithm of gravitas MDS offers compression and expansion above and below the threshold while still being one dynamics circuit. Thus the pristine clarity of a highend mastering compressor is maintained while offering innumerable ways of shaping the dynamic range of any given signal.
A legend on steroids
The 3DET mode resurrects an amazing feature of the world famous AMEK mastering compressor where three differently tuned detectors are used for finetuned compression. But in gravitas MDS you are not restricted to mere compression and you now have full access to all parameters of each detector for maximum control.
Multi-channel made easy
Gravitas MDS offers detailed access to which part of your multi-channel input signal is processed in what way. Use the Input Configuration dialog to select the channels to process and the channels to trigger processing. The detector input mixer lets you finetune how gravitas MDS reacts to each selected channel.
Parameter linking
A feature used extensively by professionals is linking the parameters of different instances across a mixing session. The Parameter Linking editor lets you select the instances and parameters you want to access synchronously and automating changes in complex mixing scenarios become a piece of cake.
