Compressor Box

Compressor Box free compressor by Synthescience

Compressor Box is a free compressor VST plugin developed by Synthescience. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The Compressor Box from Synthescience is our personal approach towards a fundamental studio tool. Our aim when designing it was to deliver an effective box for the duties rather than diving into obscure esoteric audiophile features.

So the path to straightforwardness is imprinted in each knob and switch in a clear and visual way to help you going without having to think too much. And to really help in your mixing/mastering duties we wrapped it with a fair set of presets tuned for diverse purposes.

The Compressor Box is fully automatable and has the ability to store 64 presets.

Installation procedure: Unzip the file, then copy the DLLs into your VstPlugins folder.

Common Image

Common Image free stereo-imaging by Bass Gnomes

Common Image is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by Bass Gnomes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Common Image is an effect designed for stereo content. Common Image inverts the left audio channel, and mixes this inversion with the right audio channel, and vice versa. The result is the unique stereo image per channel, and the phasing out of the mono material.

Common Image can shift mono content in relativity to Stereo Content by using the “relative” position, or it can allow positioning of stereo content while maintaining mono content position by using the “grouped” position
