The Dynamics effects in Premiere was an effect licensed from CubeTec, and provided a simple compressor with noise gate and limiter built-in. When the Audition effects engine was ported to Premiere Pro a few years ago, we began migrating our native Adobe-developed and maintained audio effects to Premiere as well, and late last year, the old CubeTec effects were deprecated and placed in a folder labeled "Obsolete." (Why? Well, besides having duplicate effects, we're able to respond to updates and fixes in our own code far more quickly than with decade-old licensed technology.) While the new Dynamics Processing effect can give the same, or better, results, it is a more complicated effect. We've received plenty of feedback from Premiere editors that, while they appreciate the new effect, aren't comfortable with the complexity and change. We've been investigating the best way to solve this that ensures we have an effect that we can continue to develop and troubleshoot should any problems arise, while maintaining the simpler user interface and ease of use that you became accustomed to with the old plugin. While I think our teams have a pretty good plan, can I ask what sections of the old Dynamics effect you used most often, how many custom presets you may have created for the effect, and how often you use it in your projects? I'd be happy to share this feedback with the engineering teams and make sure we're focused on the right solutions. Thanks, Durin
