Drive it. Shape it. Move on. Q Sahara is an input-driven compressor designed for quick decisions and musical results. There is no threshold to chase and no millisecond math to interpret: drive the signal into Sahara, set the ratio, and let its program-dependent behavior follow the music. INPUT-DRIVEN COMPRESSION A fixed internal threshold means compression is controlled by how hard you drive the input — just like classic analog workflows. MUSICAL TIMING Attack and release are program-dependent, adapting to phrasing, groove and dynamics instead of fixed time values. RATIO WITH CHARACTER Ratio and knee work together. Lower ratios stay smooth and forgiving; higher ratios add firmness and control without limiter behavior. MADE FOR iOS • AUv3 plugin — use it in AUM, GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis, Loopy Pro and other AUv3 hosts • External sidechain support with dedicated sidechain high-pass filter • Standalone app included • Two hand-crafted themes: Sand Dune and Black Sand • HD and Eco oversampling modes • Zero samples latency, ultra-low CPU • A/B compare and preset management • Factory presets, including artist presets by Grammy-winning engineers FOCUSED BY DESIGN No unnecessary controls, no distractions. Sahara does one thing and does it well: it delivers instant results, stays responsive to your material, and lets you mix by ear instead of by numbers. “Really interesting compressor! Sahara seems to improve the sound of everything I put it on.” — Mark Linett, three-time Grammy-winning producer and engineer “I reach for the Sahara compressor when I want character. It shines on bass, acoustic guitar, snare, parallel drums, and more!” — Brian Vibberts, seven-time Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer
