Win 32 VST. Submit comment Andrei Jun 05 Jun 05 For extreme compression only. Doesn't consume CPU resources. Not so good on drums. John Dec 28 Dec 28 A bit crude but sounds decent and works well. Complex mode uses more cpu and sounds kinda naff.
Nice, simple, effective, reliable VST. Not very powerful though. If you want to really squash a vocal you might need to use 2 or 3 of these simultaneously, all maxed out. A good basic, go to compressor. Oct 23 My plugin- comeback of the year!
Tried it again on a new recording and it works after all the time in a phantastic way. Highly recommanded for rockdrum- bus- compression. As good as brandnew commercial plugins which simulate vintage gear, believe me. Jun 30 Please make all the fish 64 bit for win. Nov 13 Feyd Jan 05 Jan 05 Fantastic little compressor. Love it!!! VICE Jan 03 Jan 03 May 08 A sort of acapella maker!
If you're unsure that you've got the latest version: the new file 'blockfish. This has been most prominent with blockfish, but is fixed with the other two plugins as well.
But unlike a lot of digital compressors, it does not 'squash' your signal that much. The focus was to keep your music alive and let it breathe. Below you will find a list of free compressors with links to the respective download sites. If you scroll down further you will find descriptions of the listed compressor vst plugins.
The vst plugins mentioned may be working either on PC or Mac or on both and a few are bit only. In Klangheim Studio we use Cubase in combination with jBridge and that works like a charm without any hickups. You can read more about bit bridging in our article About Bit Bridging. Thrillseeker VBL by Variety of Sound Vari-Mu compressor — this is primarily a saturation tool but it also has a simple compressor that works very well on bass Windows. MCompressor is a very nice and very versatile vst compressor plugin.
It has a good graphic user interface GUI that gives you good visual feedback about what you are doing both in terms of how you are compressing soft knee, linear, or hard knee and how much gain reduction you are employing.
You have full control over attack, release, ratio and threshold and you can target either the audio peaks or the average loudness RMS of the incoming signal — or set up the MCompressor to target the audio signal somewhere in between these two.
MCompressor also has a sidechain and a highpass and lowpass filter which makes it extraordinarily flexible. It comes with the Melda Free Bundle that includes quite a few other nice vst plugins. Highly recommended. If you are a beginner this could be a good compressor to learn by since it is very easy to tweak plus you are forced to use your ears and not rely on numbers. It has a fixed threshold and the more you gain the input the more compression you will get.
Use the output knob to match the compressed level to the uncompressed. This way you will not be fooled by differences in loudness between the unprocessed and the processed audio. The DC1A can add a nice saturation effect to the audio. The saturation is stronger with higher gain reduction. Finally you have the option of using negative compression ratios. So, even though the DC1A looks simple at a first glance it is quite surprisingly versatile and can work well on many different types of audio material from drums and percussion to vocals, guitars, and keyboards.
Yet another simple but powerful vst compressor plugin by Klanghelm. However, the MJUC jr still gives you a little of the flavour that you will find plenty of in its bigger sibling. With just a few controls — compress, make up gain, and a choice between three time constants fast, slow, and auto — the plugin is very easy to operate and you may be surprised about how much you can get out of this scaled down version.
If you need more control and would enjoy playing with a lot of extra parameters you can buy the full version for very little money.
The developers have added control features that you will not find on many compressors such as separate control over peak and RMS release values and a way to balance the importance and influence of each of these release times on the processing through the peak crest knob and of course through the peak release knob and the RMS release knob.
If you want to dial in both mid and side compression and control these individually then you can simply use two instances of TDR Kotelnikov.
TDR Kotelnikov offers an internal sidechain function which gives you the option of relaxing the way the compressor responds to low end frequencies. There is also a mix option for parallel compression.
Timingwise the TDR Kotelnikov is capable of very fast settings. The attack time can be as low as 0. Of course you can choose slower settings as well since the attack time is fully adjustable up to milliseconds and the release time likewise fully adjustable up to 2 seconds.
