Kilohearts Compressor is a dynamics processor plug-in shaping the dynamics of the initial attack and the sustain tail.
Someone somewhere once said that there are 931 compressor plugins in the world. Well, now there’s 932!
A compressor will even out the audio volume by lowering the volume when the signal is loud. This helps shape the dynamics of the sound both at the initial attack and the sustain tail. Each compressor has their own flavor, and the kHs Compressor tastes sweet.
KILOHEARTS ECOSYSTEM
This virtual effects plug-in is part of the Kilohearts Essentials plug-ins and one of a growing collection of that form the Kilohearts Ecosystem. They can be used as regular plugins (VST/AAX/AU) but also as Snapins when combined with other plug-ins from the Kilohearts Ecosystem. These lightweight and high-quality plug-ins have intuitive no-nonsense interfaces so you will be using them like a master in no time.
FEATURES:
- Threshold knob: The threshold for when the compressor will start lowering the volume
- Attack knob: The time it takes to lower the volume when the input volume is over the threshold
- Makeup knob: Will increase the volume of the output signal to compensate for the loss in overall volume that the compressor causes
- Sidechain: When enabled attenuation is calculated based on a secondary input, but the effect is applied to the main input
- Ratio knob: Decides how much the compressor will reduce the audio volume. At 1:2, for example, the volume will be lowered until it is halfway between the input volume and the threshold
- Release knob: The time it takes to return the volume to normal when the input volume is under the threshold
- Mode: In RMS mode the compressor will measure the volume using the root mean square method, which gives an accurate measurement of audio power. In peak mode the compressor will follow the peaks in the audio waveform, which makes it more responsive to transients
- VU Meter: The current input level, the selected threshold, and the compressor’s current attenuation
