Oxford Dynamics Black Friday pricing is 75% off, which brings this Sonnox dynamics plugin to $67 until Dec 17, 2026.
Oxford Dynamics packs six independent processes into one plugin for shaping dynamics. You get a gate, an expander, a compressor, a limiter, a 2-band side-chain EQ and a warmth control.
The maker pitches it for jobs from light vocal control to a pumping side-chained effect. It also covers fast gating, precise expansion and peak limiting on single tracks and buses.
The full list of processes:
Warmth adds extra presence and tube-like saturation. The maker says the plugin keeps its sound clear throughout, with the harmonic saturation there only when you want it.
There are 3 compressor types: Normal, Classic and Linear. The knee is variable and soft, and it runs from 0 dBr to -20 dBr in 5 dB steps.
The maker lists ultra-low noise and distortion as a feature. The dynamics section comes from the Sony OXF-R3 console, which the maker calls acclaimed.
Because the side-chain has its own 2-band EQ, you can shape what the detector reacts to before it triggers the gain change. That's handy for ducking a bus or keeping a limiter from grabbing at the wrong frequencies.
On macOS you need 10.12 or later, 64-bit only, and both Intel and M1 Apple Silicon are supported. Formats are AAX Native, AU and VST3.
On Windows you need Windows 10 or later, with AAX Native and VST3 formats.
It runs in Pro Tools 11 or above, or in any desktop application that supports AU (Mac) or VST3 plugins.
Each licence of a Toolbox range product gives you 2 activations. With an iLok account, each activation authorises the plugin on one device.
That device can be a machine, an iLok2 or iLok3 with the latest drivers, or iLok Cloud, which needs an active internet connection.
If you already work in Pro Tools or a VST3 host, the plugin slots in as a normal insert. Put it on a vocal channel, a drum bus or the stereo bounce and dial in the gate and compressor as you would with any channel dynamics section.
