What it does
autoDYN pairs "SSL 4000E Dynamics processing with sonible AI-assisted analysis." It models the compressor/limiter and gate/expander from the 4K E channel strip.
- E-series dynamics: compressor/limiter and gate/expander from the SSL 4K E channel strip, for punchy compression and fast gating.
- AI analysis: sonible's engine detects source characteristics and recommends compressor and gate settings in real time.
- Profiles: kick, snare, vocal, bass, guitars and more, with Strong, Medium or Soft styles.
- Editable results: all suggestions can be adjusted by hand, and a Mix control sets the overall intensity.
- Mix assistance: visual, contextual guidance for learning, which can be turned off.
The current version is 1.0.5. It is also part of the autoSeries Bundle. A 14-day trial is available.

When to use it
Pick autoDYN if you want the SSL E-series compressor and gate with a suggested starting point per instrument. Like sonible smart:comp 3 and learn:comp, it offers AI-assisted compression, but with SSL dynamics, and Native Channel Strip 2 or bx_console SSL 4000 E give you SSL channel dynamics with manual control.
- Best for: quick compression and gating on drums, vocals and bass, and for learning how console dynamics behave.
- Genres: all genres.
- Look elsewhere if: you want a flexible modern compressor; Pro-C 3 covers more ground.
- Standout: E-series compressor and gate together, set up automatically for each source.
What producers say
Reviewers found the assistant gives sensible starting points, with the fixed make-up gain as the main complaint.
- Sound On Sound (2026) noted that "the dynamics section also gets the 'smart' treatment" and gives sensible starting points.
- MusicTech (2026) said its analysis "pays closer attention to dynamic range and transient behaviour."
- Gripe: Sound On Sound noted the automatic make-up gain cannot be disabled.
