Kompresor vs JAX Kryostatic

Kompresor is a versatile and powerful, yet easy to use, compressor. With several compression algorithms and processing modes under the hood, Kompresor is suitable for use on a wide variety of signals, on the mix bus, or for mastering. For the most transparent compression, ideal for mastering, use AUTO or "AUTO A" envelopes. Use PROGRAM envelope for an easy mix bus gluing effect. If you are after the classic style compression switch to feedback configuration. Select RMS detector for a smoother compression suitable for vocals, guitars, etc. Five processing modes allow you to go from the standard stereo (L/R) compression mode to more surgical modes like compressing the mid (sum) or side (diff) signal only, or compressing exclusively the left or right channel. To help you fine tune compression parameters, enable DELTA feature to monitor only the difference between the uncompressed and compressed signal. Last but not least, Kompresor has an external side chain input for those times when you need to duck one signal based on another one. Features: – Four types of compression Attack/Release envelopes SIMPLE, AUTO, AUTO A, and PROGRAM. – Five processing modes LEFT, RIGHT, MID, SIDE, STEREO – External sidechaining (only in hosts that support external sidechaining) – Very fast attack time - 0.01ms – Ratio up to 30:1 – Soft knee up to 50dB width – Feedforward and feedback configuration – Peak and RMS detectors – Sidechain high pass filter – Parallel processing – Monitoring only the difference between the uncompressed and compressed signal – Intelligent auto makeup gain – 4x oversampling to avoid aliasing – Plenty of factory presets to provide a starting point Kompresor is primarily an AUv3 effect. To use Kompresor as a plug-in, you will need an AUv3 compatible host such as Garageband, AUM, etc. Kompresor application is there to provide a user manual and a chance to use Kompresor with the microphone input. You can try Kompresor on a macOS or a Windows based machine by downloading the demo version of the plug-in (VST3, AUv2, AAX) from our website (https://www.shatteredglassaudio.com) and running it in a DAW of your choice. Sonically speaking there are no differences between the iOS and macOS/Windows versions of Kompresor.

Technobabble: Synchronous polyphasic temporal compression for the coherent transsubstantiation of the phase-modulated frequency spectrum into a cross-dimensional, entropy-resistant acoustic singularity... to put it in simple terms: a baryonic resonance oscillation with fractal phase inversion that deconstructs the continuous time vector within the Hilbert space, freezing it inside an infinite, dimensionless audio event horizon. JAX Kryostatic is an AudioUnit (AUv3). AudioUnits require an audio host application. We produce audio tools exclusively for Apple platforms. The audio effect processor freezes your audio stream in real time. At the heart of its visualization lies an energy correlometer, alongside a dual stereo FFT waterfall display with adjustable flow speed. Using a "Touch and Slide" interface, you can intuitively freeze and shift the live stream's spectrum, visibly - even into extreme ranges. The freezing effect itself is automatic or freely adjustable, ranging from "Soft Iced" to "Hard Iced." So JAX Kryostatic serves equally well as a creative tool for sound design or simply as a musical analysis utility. This AudioUnit is highly optimized for real-time audio processing and very low CPU usage, as its entire graphical visualization is de-coupled and calculated / rendered directly on the GPU. Our new concept involves releasing some of our fully produced songs alongside our FRONTIER SERIES Audio Units. In doing so, we aim to illustrate our new guiding principle: providing musical tools rather than chasing obscure trends of noise production.
