What is the Rane Series?
Based on Rane's incredible sounding Live Sound hardware, the Rane Series of HD TDM plug-ins consists of a 31 band Graphic EQ, a 10 band Parametric EQ, a Compressor and a Gate (sold together as the Rane Series Dynamics). Not only do the Rane Series plug-ins sound incredible but Serato has added new, intuitive features that give you a level of control that is unprecedented.
The Rane Series plug-ins support sample rates up to 192kHz, and they can be used in mono, stereo, and multi-mono modes (stereo mode is recommended over multi-mono mode for the Dynamics plug-ins because it links the channels to preserve a stable stereo image).
What's new in the Rane Series 1.2?
The Rane Series 1.2 plug-ins are now Intel Mac compatible.
The Rane Series Graphic EQ
The Rane Series Graphic EQ is a TDM plug-in for the Digidesign Pro Tools HD or VENUE platforms. It combines the pristine sound quality and excellent features of Rane's top-of-the-line hardware, the DEQ 60/60L, with the ease of a functional graphical user interface.
The problem with traditional graphic equalizers is band interaction; you move one slider and all surrounding bands are affected. The Graphic EQ eliminates this problem, with Rane's patented Perfect-Q™ technology, previously only available in their award winning hardware. The Graphic EQ forces the response curve to pass through every slider so the response follows exactly the slider positions on screen, giving you the ability to notch out a single frequency or create the exact curve you want.
The Graphic EQ features 31 bands of equalization, 3 simple overall tone controls and a low- and high-cut filter pair to help shape your sound without sacrificing a filter band. It also includes a color coded response graph to display the overall gain and phase change so you can see at a glance the overall effect your settings are having on the audio.
The Rane Series Parametric EQ
The Rane Series Parametric EQ is a TDM plug-in for the Digidesign Pro Tools HD or VENUE platforms. It combines the pristine sound quality and excellent features of Rane's top-of-the-line hardware, the PEQ 55, with the ease of a functional graphical user interface.
The Rane Series Parametric EQ is a very comprehensive EQ. Not only does it provide an incredibly clean and natural sound even at the extremes beyond the point where most parametric EQs would start to sound grainy, but it is the most flexible parametric EQ with ten bands that can each be moved from 12.5Hz to 20kHz and are all independently switchable between high or low shelf and bell filters.
The Parametric EQ includes a color coded response graph to display the overall gain and phase change so you can see at a glance the overall effect your settings are having on the audio.

The Rane Series Dynamics consists of 2 TDM plug-ins for the Digidesign Pro Tools HD or VENUE platforms: the Rane Series Compressor and the Rane Series Gate. It combines the pristine sound quality and excellent features of Rane's top-of-the-line hardware, the C4 Compressor and G4 Gate, with the ease of a functional graphical user interface.
The Rane Series Compressor
The Rane Series Compressor is a fully featured compressor/limiter that gives you the ability to create a wide range of effects from the smooth and subtle to the squashed and extreme. In compressor mode you can key from a fully adjustable parametric EQ on the side chain. Alternatively you can use dynamic EQ mode for de-essing or selectively compressing any frequency relative to the rest of your mix.
The Rane Series Gate
A comprehensive Gate, Ducker and Expander, the Serato Rane Series Gate allows you to achieve impressive clarity and headroom from your mixes. Look-ahead delay and program-dependant pre-ramping provides you not only with click free gating but you'll never miss another transient. The Gate provides everything from subtle and transparent dynamic control to total on/off noise gating.
