Run as admin and it works perfectly! Rico Jun 26 Jun 26 Dox Jun 27 Jun 27 OTT works best at low amounts of depth. Use it properly, it will make anything be more louder and present. Mar 09 The installation doesn't work. The setup tells me it's complete, but in the folder, there's absolutely no file. Mar 10 Breyemo Apr 15 Apr 15 Right click and run as admin :. Xensky Oct 11 Oct 11 Uncle Homunculus Jun 08 Jun 08 The best character compressor I've come across. Can be so dirty! Ricardo May 08 May 08 Anonymous Aug 23 Aug 23 I've been looking for a plugin like this!
Ableton has a compressor like this but I like to use this better. Really Good!! Jun 21 I put it on the masterbuss, I didnt know what I heard..
Amazing sound, nice full and sound leveld.. And that for freeware! Xfer Thanks! Apr 06 Perfect for mixing This means you can increase or decrease the value of any parameter for all the bands at once.
Each band can also be heard in solo, with the ability to solo multiple bands together. The plugin packs in envelope and compression curve displays gain reduction display is only in the paid version for accurate real-time visualization.
Oversampling up to 2x is available 8x in paid version to top off an already impressive feature set. This versatile mastering compressor can handle even the most dynamic of tracks. Convergence features up to 10 bands of compression and as low as 2 bands. Convergence is worth checking out, especially as a field test for the premium version.
It looks great and provides precise feedback of the compression process, true to its mastering grade tag. GMulti should be the first thing you check out if you want a transparent multi-band compressor plugin. You can read the online manual and download the plugin here.
GMulti fixes the number of bands at three. The presence of only 3 bands simplifies the process and saves some time while still delivering quality results. A mix knob is also a thoughtful addition to achieve parallel processing. The crossover frequencies of the bands are user-defined. Any band can be muted for monitoring individual frequency ranges. A global control for input gain and a useful high pass filter are also provided for volume matching and avoiding low-end pumping effects.
The plugin can be set quickly to get great results. It performs very well in taming harshness in the high end for drum busses cymbals or full-mixes. On the low end , I found it great for preventing bass or heavy guitars from getting muddy. Each band sports a width control to increase stereo information or collapse down to mono. For individual elements or larger groups, this plugin is a great pick to add to your toolkit of VST compressor plugins for quick recall.
See if you can spot any visual compromises they made along the way! The GUI is as no-frills as it gets, with a highly accurate real-time spectral display and a tabbed view for each band. ReaXComp supports practically unlimited individual frequency bands. From sculpting to high-quality crossovers, it can handle even the most minute, demanding mastering tasks with ease. And… it also works as a multiband expander — a feature rarely found on other multi-band compressors in this roundup or otherwise.
An auto-makeup gain function and sidechain ability round out this seriously serious plugin. As always, they deliver in style.
ReaXComp is the lord of the highly customizable multiband compressors. However, the emperor has no clothes, so you will have to get around the GUI or the lack of it. Frontier is also quite easy to use. Threshold, release, control input, and output volume are your key controls. Play around with these, and you can quickly create stunning results.

It should be noted, of course, that this bundle is intended to be used together, inside the provided software. Otherwise, you might look elsewhere. Anyway, Supercharger emulates the harmonic-rich sound of pure tube compression. Its user interface has been streamlined to help you achieve desired results fast.
We love the sporty and eye-catching user interface. We also love the simplicity of the one knob design. Add some color and tube-like warmth to your vocals, guitars, bass, or even drums. Supercharger starts off transparent and subtle, but quickly transforms your sounds as you turn up the compression. Generally, to pleasant effect. Download: Native Instruments. TAN was clearly designed to look like classic rackmount compression units. We find it to be a relatively transparent compression, but the effect is quite noticeable.
It works great on drums and even full mixes. Download: Acustica Audio. It gives you control over thresh, ratio, knee, attack, release, and gain, just as a standard compressor would. And we are big fans of this concept. SAFECompressor also gives you the ability to save your own presets.
Their other plugins work much the same way. If the Freecomp is up your street then you can upgrade tot the paid suite of compressors which include transient shapers and a limiter. Download Freecomp here. While some plugins may seem overly simplistic due to a lack of parameters, this is deceptive thinking. Because compressors react very particularly to the volume of the incoming audio, it is highly encouraged that you play around with levels when using plugins with limited controls.
Volume in this context can be seen as an extra parameter, and indeed the most important one when it comes to compression. Because each plugin in this list has its own particular advantages and disadvantages in different situations, the safest bet is to grab the whole lot and figure out when and how to use them simply by experimenting and building familiarity. After all, they are free, so what do you have to lose? Interviews See All. Is Tape Undergoing A Renaissance?
