TDR Kotelnikov is a free compressor VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Tokyo Dawn Labs. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.
TDR Kotelnikov is a wideband dynamics processor combining high fidelity dynamic range control with deep musical flexibility. As a descendant of the venerable TDR Feedback Compressor product family, Kotelnikov has directly inherited several unique features such as a proven control scheme, individual release control for peak and RMS content, an intuitive user interface, and powerful, state of the art, high-precision algorithms.
With a sonic signature best described as “stealthy”, Kotelnikov has the ability to manipulate the dynamic range by dramatic amounts, while carefully preserving the original tone, timbre and punch of a musical signal. As such, it is perfectly suited to stereo bus compression as well as other critical applications.
Kotelnikov does not try to emulate any previously available device. The concept is a proud digital processor, it is the original.
Notable features:
- 64-bit floating point precision for all relevant calculations.
- Multi-rate processing structure for highest accuracy.
- “Delta” oversampled signal path (bit transparent at 0dB gain reduction).
- Super fast, yet natural sounding compression.
- Control scheme based on “Crest factor”, offering independent release controls for peak and RMS events.
- Flexible sidechain highpass filter.
- Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus.
- Delta preview mode to preview the difference between compressed and original signal.
- Latency compensated bypass (processing doesn’t interrupt).
- Extensive documentation.
The standard edition is available for free, the improved Gentleman’s Edition can be purchased directly from Tokyo Dawn.
