ProgressComp is the same compressor as found on Progress Audio’s commercial
ShapeShifter multi-effect plug-in. It features quick-and-easy-to-use controls for fast setup, but is still capable of a wide range of sounds.http://www.progressaudio.co.uk/

Pressure Mastering Compressor uses a technique called upward compression; it increases the level of quiet portions in a mix without reducing the level of attack transients like a traditional compressor.

There are just 3 parameters: Amount of compression, look-ahead, and gain control.

NastyVCS is described as a virtual console strip which finally brings the “nasty” signal coloration series to the next level.

Built around an entirely new opto-electric style compression unit, NastyVCS offers everything you need to shape your channels dynamics and tone. It offers a dedicated input stage featuring crunchy pre-amp saturation and a brickwall safety limiter in the output stage. Everything is set up to work in zero latency and so be available for hassle free tracking and mixing.

Two dedicated filters can be used in either the audio path or in the compressor’s sidechain which can be external as well. Whether pre or post compression, the equalizer section offers four interacting coloring tools with well-selected musical sounding curves. The concept gets rounded off by a phase alignment tool which can be used for coloring purposes as well.
