as_fbComp

as_fbComp is a free compressor VST plugin developed by Anton Savov. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

as_fbComp is a Feedback Compressor/Limiter.

The plug-in uses 2 input and 2 output channels.

There are two modes of operation:

  • Mono – the detector uses L and R input channels, but only the L channel is sent out as audio (R input is used as side-chain input).
  • Stereo – the detector uses L and R input channels, and they are both processed with gain reduction and sent out (gain reduction is the same for both).

This compressor is not transparent. It has DC-removing filters on the inputs and outputs, and the outputs pass through a slightly non-symmetrical soft-shaper, which also hard-clips to 0dB.

Main controls:

  • Threshold.
  • Input (pre-amplification).
  • Attack.
  • Release.
  • Output (post-amplification).
  • Dry.

Side-chain controls:

  • Source (balance between L and R for the detector, only works in Mono mode).
  • Low shelf Gain.
  • Low shelf Cutoff.

The compressor works at 4x oversampling. There is a latency of 2 or 3 samples which is not reported to the Host.
