KEY FEATURES 1. Ultra-clean algorithm. Less than -140 dB harmonic distortion across all settings 2. Clean and simple interface 3. Side chain input with full band and band limited modes 4. High-resolution spectrum analyser displays the input and output volume at each frequency ULTRA LOW DISTORTION COMPRESSOR ALGORITHM This unique envelope follower design ensures harmonic distortion of less than -140 dB for the full range of compressor settings. There is no cleaner compressor on the app store. SIDE CHAIN INPUT In host apps that support multi-input audio units you can use this app to achieve the pumping side chain effect typically heard in electronic dance music where the synth and other background instruments duck their volume in deference to the kick drum on every beat. The side chain input of this plugin has two modes. In full-spectrum mode each frequency band is compressed according to the volume of the full spectrum of sidechain input. In single-band mode each band is compressed based on the side chain level in only that frequency band itself. COMPRESSOR CONTROLS Each of up to four bands has eight compressor settings. They are input gain, output gain, attack time, release time, threshold, ratio, soft/hard knee, and wet mix.
