House Effect

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

House Effect is a free compressor VST plugin developed by synleor. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

House Effect is a VST effect plugin that makes it very easy to create typical extreme compression often found in some styles of House music. Simply chain it as an insert-effect after your synthesizer and connect its MIDI input to the bassline via an aux-send of the percussion track. The bass drum will then trigger a strong gain.

GTX

GTX free compressor by de la Mancha

GTX is a free compressor VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

GTX is a vintage style ‘character’ compressor, designed like its muscle car name-sake for brute power, pure speed and to make a loud noise. It has everything you’d expect in a thorough-bred compressor, but is tuned for maximum control and ease of use, with its own unique vintage colouring on top, according to de la Mancha.

GTX is an RMS compressor, similar to GTO but customised with a smoother RMS delivery and further refinement in the shape of a knee control. It features super-fast attack and release times and has a wide range of threshold, ratio and output boost, so it can cover everything from subtle correction to death-by-compression, with everything in between. With an external sidechain, wet/dry mix for NY compression and a hard limiter too, de la Mancha says “you can really push this baby to get pumping bass and block-rockin’ beats”. The metering covers input, output and gain reduction, showing real-time and peak level.

Features:

  • Vintage style Peak and RMS compressors with external sidechain, parallel compression and comprehensive metering.
  • Subtle colouring from a home-made blend of harmonics, saturation and noise.
  • Internal or external sidechain routing.
  • Wet/Dry mix control allows phase-free blending of dry uncompressed signal for NY style parallel compression.
  • RMS window can be set for smooth cruising or sharp response.
  • Knee amount can be changed from gentle curve to sharp edge.
  • Stereo input detection can be linked or unlinked.
  • Distortion reduction for very short release times.
  • Optional hard limiting on final output.
  • Metering covers stereo input, output and gain reduction. All meters show actual and peak levels.
  • Non-linear knobs for precise control at small values.
  • Presets covering all functions and different configurations.
  • Choice of 2 attack/release curves.
  • Additional ‘Internal sidechain only’ version.
  • Adjustable peak meter hold time.

GTO is a free compressor VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

It has everything you’d expect in a thorough-bred compressor, but is tuned for maximum control and ease of use, with its own unique vintage colouring on top, according to de la Mancha.

GTO is a peak compressor, designed for raw power and lightning response. It features super-fast attack and release times and has a wide range of threshold, ratio and output boost, so it can cover everything from subtle correction to death-by-compression, with everything in between.

GMulti

GMulti free compressor by GVST

GMulti is a free compressor VST plugin developed by GVST. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

GMulti is a three-band compressor and stereo enhancer.

First, the signal is split at user-defined frequencies into three bands. Each of these bands can then be compressed independently and have its stereo width altered before being mixed back together.

The compression of each band is specified in the usual manner with threshold, ratio, attack and release controls.

The GUI contains gain-reduction meters for each band, which have a resolution of 1dB per bar. There is also a before/after waveform display, which can display any of the three bands. The waveform display features a zoom control, which allows the display to be scaled for optimum viewing.

The stereo enhancement works by amplifying or diminishing the stereo information in each band. If you set a Width parameter to 0% then the associated band is collapsed to mono, which is often desirable for the bass band.

The Mix parameter allows the pre-compression signal to be mixed back into the output signal. You can use this to restore some of the dynamics of the original signal.

GMax

GMax free compressor by GVST

GMax is a free compressor VST plugin developed by GVST. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

GMax is a maximizing limiter. It is designed to boost the level of the signal without letting the peaks exceed a given maximum.

The Gain parameter sets the desired boost in volume. The signal will be boosted by this amount before going into the limiter.

The limiter reduces the signal level as necessary to keep it below that specified by the Ceiling parameter. The Release parameter sets the time taken for the limiter to recover after turning the volume down.

A meter is displayed on the GUI showing the gain reduction applied by the limiter. The resolution of this meter is 1dB per bar.

GComp2

GComp2 free compressor by GVST

GComp2 is a free compressor VST plugin developed by GVST. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

GComp2 is a compressor featuring a band-pass filter and a gate.

The compression is controlled with the Attack, Release and Compress parameters. The Compress parameter controls the compression curve, replacing the usual threshold and ratio parameters.

The level of the signal going into the compressor also affects the result. The Gain parameter controls the input gain. The Output parameter can be used to control the output level.

The gate is actually an expander, which turns the signal down when it drops below a given threshold. The Gate parameter sets that threshold.

GComp

GComp free compressor by GVST

GComp is a free compressor VST plugin developed by GVST. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

GComp is a combined compressor and limiter for controlling the dynamics of an audio signal.

GComp tracks both the peak and the RMS level of the incoming signal. The level considered for compression can be either of these, or a mix of both. The mix is controlled by the RMS/Peak parameter.

The compression curve is defined by the Threshold, Ratio, Limit and Softness parameters, and is displayed on the GUI.

The GUI also features a wave-display that shows the compression and limiting thresholds relative to the incoming audio.
