Coming soon
Compression for vocals and instruments. Planned controls include attack, threshold, release, ratio and sidechain input.
Release date to be announced
In development. This is a preview; features and release details may change.
Example settings for vocals, bass and drums.
Use clip gain to reduce large differences between phrases. Lower Threshold to compress the remaining peaks by a few dB, then check the quieter sections.
Starting point
Reduce differences between bass notes with a slower Attack to retain the initial pluck. Use the kick as a sidechain input if you want the bass level to dip on each kick hit.
Starting point
Start with a low ratio and slow attack to reduce loud hits while retaining transients. Adjust Release so the gain recovers between hits.

Planned controls and suggested starting settings for a vocal.
Left knob
How quickly it clamps down once a sound crosses the threshold. Fast catches the very front of a word or a drum hit, which can sound dull. Slower lets that first edge through before it reacts, so drums keep their punch and consonants stay clear.
Start at10 ms
Centre knob
The level where compression begins. Anything louder gets turned down, anything quieter passes untouched. Lower it and more of the track gets caught: the loud parts come down and the whole thing sounds more even, then flatter if you keep going.
Start at−18 dB
Right knob
How quickly gain returns after the signal drops below Threshold. A short release can cause audible pumping; a long release can keep the next phrase compressed.
Start at120 ms
Left menu
How firmly the level is turned down once it’s over the threshold. At 4:1, a line that goes 8 dB over comes out only 2 dB over. Lower ratios are gentle and easy to miss. Higher ones hold the level almost flat.
Start at4:1
Middle menu
The flavour of the compression, separate from how much of it there is. Start on Clean, where the aim is a steadier level rather than a different tone.
Start atClean
Right menu
Set to Off, the track’s own level decides when it gets turned down. Point it at another track, like the kick, and that track decides instead: the bass dips each time the kick lands, so the two stop crowding each other.
Start atOff
Check loud and quiet phrases while setting the compressor.
