Watch compression happen — on the waveform, on the level history, on the curve. Then stack a second engine and watch them work together.
The classic studio move — a fast, high-ratio stage catching peaks into a slow, gentle leveler — built in. A and B are two complete compressor setups; flip between them to compare, or hit STACK and run A into B in series, exactly like a hardware chain. The transfer display draws the composed response of both stages, the scope's ghost shows the signal A hands to B, and optional per-stage traces show which engine is working, when.
MATCH continuously trims the output back to the input's loudness, so A/B judgements are about sound, not volume. BYPASS is latency-aligned and click-free. DELTA plays only what the compressor is removing — the fastest way to hear whether your attack is eating transients or your release is pumping. And the detector envelope is drawn right on the level display, so you can see exactly what the compressor hears against your threshold.
A real draggable detector EQ over a live spectrum of the sidechain: lo and hi cuts with 12, 24, or 36 dB per octave slopes — drag sideways for frequency, up and down for slope, or grab the middle and move the whole band. Key from the stereo signal, the mid, or the sides. Push a quiet external key into the threshold with 36 dB of sidechain gain. LISTEN plays exactly what the detector hears.
Clean, general-purpose compression with the details done properly — every mechanism real, measurable, and visible. No vintage myths, no magic circuits: just a precise engine you can watch work.
Fast and body recovery stages blended by the material itself. Three voicings — Clean, Punch, Bus — calibrated against objective transient, distortion, and pumping metrics.
One knob from 1:1 through gentle leveling to true infinite limiting, continuously, with no automation surprises.
Up to 20 ms: the detector sees ahead, the gain arrives before the transient. Latency reported to your DAW; the parallel path can never comb.
Link transients to keep the image locked while releases breathe per channel — attack and release link are independent controls.
Freeze the gain after each attack before release begins. Steadies pumping on rhythmic material, and you can watch it hold on the scope.
Up to 15 seconds of true min/max waveform, beat-synced, with freeze-compare: hold a reference sweep, change a setting, and see exactly what moved.
2x and 4x modes with click-free switching, for fast settings on bass-heavy material.
Hover any control for a plain-language card describing what it actually does. Turn them off when the plugin feels like home.
