A great compressor, the first and easiest I understood.
So although I have a really soft spot for Korvpressor due to it being the first one I half-understood, it is a great and unique approach, and there are presets to help beginners especially, and the simple 3-band EQ knobs are there, and there’s a ‘brick wall’ if you want that, and ‘look ahead’ and ‘makeup gain’, which you can elect to simply max out.
So I love Korvpressor, no point me saying I am neutral, but my affection is not due to inducements just a great experience. I even put a piece of footage of this working, into a video for my very first song. It’s kind of photogenic, and I just time-synced it to the song, and it’s the ‘wurst’ thing in that video...that’s a European language pun, sorry. It’s the most sausage thing, i mean, and it;s one of the best things in the mastering of that song.
There are options now, that did not previously exist, but I haven’t mastered a song without Korvpressor, it’s a lynchpin of my mastering, done inside GB iOS/iPadOS. I sandwich it between two instances of ProQ3, either inside GB, or Cubasis 3. So I can monitor the ‘feed’ to korvpressor, and tweak korv, and also what comes out afterward. But everyone’s different, this is just what works for me, and there is debate about whether you ‘should’ do EQ after compression.
TBH, the final EQ is really used mostly but not exclusively to make sure the output level is reduced, by a set amount, but there sometimes is a weird frequency - my mixing not korvpressor - and if i find it, and tame it, i can backtrack all the way to the mix, and fix it way back there, if i can. The 3-band EQ inside Korvpressor, really helps if you want a quick’n’dirty change to top/middle/bottom frequencies, and not keen at that moment to surgically excise something like a vocal pop or electrical glitch, which I have had the misfortune to record on occasion.
A great, friendly compressor, and AudioUnit, in an individual graphic adjustment very suited to touchscreens.
Nice!
Why? I use NS2 on my iPhone and iPad so I would like to have some compatibility with my projects 👍 🙏
