Compactor is a powerful compressor plugin designed to enhance your mixing process with both simplicity and depth. It offers two distinct workflow modes, allowing users to switch between an easy-to-use interface for quick adjustments and an advanced mode that provides detailed control over dynamic processing. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of users, from those seeking straightforward compression to those wanting precise shaping of their sound.

The simple mode streamlines the compression process by minimizing the parameters you need to adjust. By selecting a preset and setting the threshold, you can achieve the desired compression effect quickly without dealing with complex controls. This approach lets you focus on your creative flow while the plugin manages the technical details, ensuring consistent and effective results every time.

For more experienced users, the advanced interface unlocks extensive features such as tempo-synced release, lookahead, gain reduction limiting, and visual tools like knee visualization and a histogram. Additional automatic settings help optimize threshold, attack, release, and knee parameters, which is especially useful for processing vocals. These features come together to provide comprehensive dynamic control, enabling you to sculpt your audio with precision and confidence.
