BPB Dirty LA is a freeware compressor plugin inspired by classic vintage limiting amplifiers, designed to deliver musical and natural compression. It features a streamlined workflow with an intuitive interface, making it accessible for a wide range of audio sources. The plugin includes a unique Dirt algorithm that adds subtle saturation while gently reducing transients, enhancing the character of your sound without overwhelming it.

The compressor offers two distinct modes: the default compression mode, which applies a relatively fast attack time and moderate compression ratio for smooth dynamic control, and a limiting mode that increases attack speed and compression ratio, ideal for adding cohesive 'mix glue' on master buses. The Mix control facilitates easy parallel compression, allowing for subtle blending of compressed and dry signals to maintain clarity and punch.

BPB Dirty LA employs 4X internal oversampling when the Dirt mode is activated, ensuring high-quality saturation with minimal aliasing, while oversampling is disabled when Dirt is off to optimize CPU efficiency. Additional features include VU metering for precise gain reduction monitoring, output volume adjustment, and compatibility with Windows and macOS platforms in VST3 and AU formats. This makes it a flexible and efficient tool for music producers and engineers seeking classic compressor vibes at no cost.
