Kompresor is a versatile and powerful, yet easy to use, compressor. With several compression algorithms and processing modes under the hood, Kompresor is suitable for use on a wide variety of signals, on the mix bus, or for mastering.
For the most transparent compression, ideal for mastering, use AUTO or "AUTO A" envelopes. Use PROGRAM envelope for an easy mix bus gluing effect. If you are after the classic style compression switch to feedback configuration. Select RMS detector for a smoother compression suitable for vocals, guitars, etc.
Five processing modes allow you to go from the standard stereo (L/R) compression mode to more surgical modes like compressing the mid (sum) or side (diff) signal only, or compressing exclusively the left or right channel.
To help you fine tune compression parameters, enable DELTA feature to monitor only the difference between the uncompressed and compressed signal. Last but not least, Kompresor has an external side chain input for those times when you need to duck one signal based on another one.
Features:
– Four types of compression Attack/Release envelopes SIMPLE, AUTO, AUTO A, and PROGRAM.
– Five processing modes LEFT, RIGHT, MID, SIDE, STEREO
– External sidechaining (only in hosts that support external sidechaining)
– Very fast attack time - 0.01ms
– Ratio up to 30:1
– Soft knee up to 50dB width
– Feedforward and feedback configuration
– Peak and RMS detectors
– Sidechain high pass filter
– Parallel processing
– Monitoring only the difference between the uncompressed and compressed signal
– Intelligent auto makeup gain
– 4x oversampling to avoid aliasing
– Plenty of factory presets to provide a starting point
Kompresor is primarily an AUv3 effect. To use Kompresor as a plug-in, you will need an AUv3 compatible host such as Garageband, AUM, etc.
Kompresor application is there to provide a user manual and a chance to use Kompresor with the microphone input.
Version 1.6.0 release notes
This version includes a major new feature: a choice of five processing modes.
STEREO - The conventional stereo (L/R) compression mode.
MID - Compressing only the mid (sum) signal while leaving the side signal uncompressed.
SIDE - Compressing only the side (diff) signal while leaving the mid uncompressed.
LEFT - Compressing only the left channel.
RIGHT - Compressing exclusively the right channel.
This version also contains some minor bug fixes.
