Compressor

MCompressor

MCompressor is a free compressor VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by MeldaProduction. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

MCompressor provides standard compression with volume maximization and has adjustable compression shape, which gives you power to set custom smoothing or even interesting sound effects.

Features:

Standard and custom compression shapes: Using user shapes you can easily create various dynamic effects such as expansion, gate or even “some extraordinary shapes for rhythmization”.

Actual source level indication inside the shape graph: You always know what dynamic value you can actually expect on the input and output.

Signal maximization: Compressors lower the signal above a threshold. MCompressor can compensate the reduction to ensure that if the source has reached 0dB the result will too. This is especially useful for mastering, since you want to maximize loudness and use the entire bit resolution.

Hard, linear and smooth knee with adjustable size.

Standard general parameters: Input gain, Attack and Release.

Fully automatable (except for the custom shape graph).

Global preset management: using a title button you can save your settings, which are shared on the computer, so you can easily access them in other songs.

Loudness

Loudness is a free eq and compressor VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

WOK Loudness simulates the loudness button on old HiFi amps, which alters the frequency response curve to correspond roughly with the equal loudness characteristic of the ear at lower volumes.

The level of high and low frequencies is increased at low listening levels, to compensate for the fact that as the volume of audio decreases, the ears lower sensitivity to extreme high and low frequencies may cause these signals to fall below threshold. As a result audio material may seem to become ‘thin’ sounding at low volumes, losing bass and treble, the ‘Loudness compensation’ button (often just labelled ‘Loudness’ or ‘Loud’) is intended to rectify this situation.

Loudness is available for free as a 32-bit VST plugin for Windows (sometimes a nag-screen pops up).
