Woodpressor is a high-end audio compressor. It is both a standalone app supporting IAA (Inter-App Audio) and an AUv3 audio unit plugin. It has all the classic compressor controls like "Threshold", "Attack", "Release", "Ratio", etc but also has some extra features not commonly found on other compressors : - Auto gain - Tube distort - Adaptive Threshold - Non-linear Release - Side chain filter (bandpass, highpass, lowpass or notch) - Makeup Gain Limiter - Brick-wall Limiter It also has it's own side chain mechanism as currently no or very little AUv3 hosts implement a side chain. Woodpressor can save/load user presets, especially useful in standalone mode (or for AUv3 hosts not having their own preset store) User Presets are written to iCloud Drive which makes them automatically available (and synced, and backed-up) on all devices (and all host apps or DAW's) running Woodpressor.

At the end of a long day at the mixing desk, when everything has finally fallen into place, comes the best moment (just before pouring that glass of whisky): load an instance of NoLimits2 at the end of the processing chain, turn that big gain knob, lean back and enjoy. Its predecessor, NoLimits, was certainly a highly acclaimed limiting plugin already and did a very good job for many years, but NoLimits2 definitely takes it to another level. From ultraclean to tastefully saturated, NoLimits2 will make your mixes louder in style. NoLimits2 is a highend audio limiting plugin featuring: - a comprehensive set of 4 different limiting algorithms - all of them follow entirely different limiting strategies, giving you a choice of really unique sounds - from clean to nicely saturated, it’s all there - further control over attack, release and lookahead times allow for even more finetuning - up to 8x oversampling to keep all harmonics of the more colourful modes in check - stereo channel linking - state-of-the-art LUFS loudness metering, compliant to all the latest standards NoLimits2 is an AUv3 plugin which is compatible with all relevant hosts on iOS, like Logic, Garageband, Cubasis,... you name it.
