This compressor plugin offers two independent frequency bands, allowing separate processing of low and high frequencies for precise dynamic control. Users can switch between stereo and mid/side (M/S) modes to tailor the spatial characteristics of their mix effectively. The plugin features two distinct compressor designs: a modern VCA mode and a vintage-style opto mode, each delivering unique dynamic responses suited to different production needs.
The modern VCA mode uses a soft-knee approach with manual time constants, providing quick response and the ability to apply deep compression through a feed-forward circuit. In contrast, the vintage opto mode emulates classic opto-electrical compressors with time constants influenced by the signal's energy, producing a gentle and musical compression characterized by a natural overshoot on fast transients. This mode employs a classical feed-back detector circuit, adding warmth and character to the sound.
An adjustable high-level output stage with analog-style saturation allows users to shape the final tone and manage how the unit reacts to heavy gain reduction. The global de-compression and saturation controls offer flexibility in controlling the saturation effect and dynamic behavior. With a maximum output capped at -0.1dBFS, this plugin is ideal for use as the final stage in mastering or preparing audio for CD burning, ensuring clean and polished output signals.
