Lil' Doc is a compressor effect based on the muscular, vinyl simulator in an early 00s workhorse sampler. It’s a powerful effect that’s found a cult following among lo-fi heads, and rightly so! We first implemented this compression algorithm for our paid plug-in Doctor Vibe, and the sound was so unique, we thought it would be a great first entry in our free plug-in series. Enjoy! Features: - Completely free, no unlock required! - Four controls: - Detroit-style mix slammer - Warm vinyl noise and crackle - Drive to clip the converters! - Four sample grades to choose - Output gain - One-click loudness matching - Light or dark color scheme. Lil' Doc is an AUv3 effect plug-in. For best experience, load the plug-in on an effects slot in a compatible host. You can also preview the effect in the standalone with our new mini-player.
