The Spectral Compressor is a precise dynamics processor designed to meet the demands of film and post-production mastering. Its foundation lies in technology developed for high-end MPC consoles, delivering exceptional accuracy for mix refinement. With 18 spectral bands, it allows detailed control over dynamic range across the frequency spectrum, enabling users to shape individual bands or adjust the overall tonal balance. This makes it ideal for smoothing harsh frequencies, enhancing low-end presence, or brightening high frequencies with ease.

This compressor offers flexible applications, from acting as an effective de-esser to serving as a drum bus processor or a subtle enhancer for vocals and instruments. Its adaptable design supports a broad range of music styles, helping producers achieve polished and professional results. The user interface features controls for threshold, spectral range selection, band depth adjustment, compressor knee, and output level, providing comprehensive control over the compression process.

The Spectral Compressor’s visual feedback includes a gain reduction graph that clearly shows the compression applied across frequencies, allowing precise monitoring during processing. Frequency ranges can be targeted selectively or processed in full spectrum mode, with depth sliders managing the maximum gain reduction for grouped frequency bands. The compressor knee control adjusts the responsiveness of compression onset, and output trim ensures optimal gain compensation. This combination of detailed spectral control and intuitive operation makes it a powerful tool for mastering and mixing tasks.
