Arousor brings the classic Empirical Labs White Knob compressor into a high-quality plug-in format, capturing the signature sound that has made this hardware a favorite in studios worldwide. The plug-in offers intuitive controls with parameter readout and direct entry, ensuring ease of use and precise adjustments. It features proprietary detector modeling that replicates the original hardware's response, delivering authentic compression characteristics with high resolution and a broadband saturator that users can tailor to their preference.

Designed to handle a wide range of audio sources, Arousor introduces innovative controls like the AtMod Attack Modification, which shapes the initial attack differently than traditional attack parameters, allowing for unique transient sculpting. The compressor also includes a comprehensive sidechain EQ section featuring high-pass and band-pass filters, enabling refined control over the frequencies that trigger compression. Additionally, the Rivet control acts as a brick wall ratio, ideal for taming peaks on room mics or adding subtle saturation.

Arousor supports stereo linking for seamless dual-channel compression and includes a BLEND control for mixing the dry and compressed signals, offering flexibility in achieving the perfect balance. The plug-in comes equipped with 18 carefully crafted presets, each named for easy identification and quick setup. With its combination of authentic modeling and modern enhancements, Arousor delivers a reliable compressor that fits naturally into any production workflow.
