FSK Audio update Bark24 Dyn

Published 6/4/26

Multiband dynamics plug-in enhanced

California-based developer FSK Audio have released a significant update for their innovative multiband dynamics processor. Bark24 Dyn v1.1 builds on the capabilities of the original plug-in, delivering a selection of user-requested improvements and enhancements that promise to make it even faster and more intuitive.

Among the most notable updates are new automatic gain and output adaptation functions that respond intelligently to incoming signal levels and processing intensity, and new group editing capabilities that allow users to make coordinated adjustments across multiple bands. Additional enhancements include an output limiter and improved solo/mute operations that make it easier than ever to explore the sonic possibilities within a mix.

Key Features

24 frequency bands based on the psychoacoustic Bark scale.
Four dynamic processing modes.
Linear-phase filters with three selectable slopes.
±48 dB gain control per band.
Detailed real-time visual feedback.
Four metering modes with 3D visualisation.
Per-band solo, mute and bypass controls.
Wet/dry mix control.
MIDI control support.

What’s New?

The following features have been introduced in v1.1:

Auto-threshold, gain, and output adaptation.
Multiband group editing.
Drag to shift solos and mutes.

“Processing audio using the Bark scale enables independent dynamics processing of the various frequency regions of an audio signal. Traditional dynamics processing applies a single gain scalar across all frequencies, which has clear limitations. By dividing the spectrum into perceptually meaningful zones and managing them independently, you can shape the character of a sound in ways that were not previously possible.” - Mark Jeffery, Developer of Bark24 Dyn
