This peak compressor and limiter offers ultra-clean processing with a punchy attack and a musical release, suitable for both individual tracks and busses. It features zero or low latency operation combined with low CPU usage, making it efficient enough for use on multiple tracks simultaneously. At extreme settings, it introduces warm distortion that adds character without compromising clarity.

The compressor employs a fast or same-sample attack time that avoids any clicky artifacts, even in zero latency mode, thanks to an innovative digital envelope detection algorithm. Users can enable optional lookahead gain smoothing for an even cleaner sound, with a true zero attack time available when set to 0.0 ms. Its dual parallel release stage offers a highly musical and history-dependent response, eliminating the need for multiple compressors in series.

Additional features include easy sidechain filtering tailored for common mixing tasks and fully 64-bit DSP code optimized with SSE instructions to minimize CPU load. The plugin introduces no phase shift, allowing seamless parallel processing. When lookahead is disabled, it operates with zero latency; enabling lookahead adds just a 1.5 ms compensated latency, making it ideal for real-time mixing environments.
