Versatile compression settings: Designed to be applied to almost any audio material, from vocals and instruments to complete mixes, this plug-in offers flexible settings that allow for both subtle dynamics processing and more intense effects.

Limiter function: In addition to compression, both models have a limiter function, which is used to effectively control the peaks of the audio signal and avoid clipping.

Presets from renowned sound engineers: Use ready-made presets from some of the world's best sound engineers to quickly achieve professional results. These presets are optimized for different recording situations and can serve as a great starting point for fine-tuning your own mixes.
