Ultra clean peak compressor/limiter with punchy attack, musical release, and optional lookahead smoothing, for tracks or busses. Zero/low latency and low CPU.

Features
Fast or same-sample attack times that never sound “clicky”, even in zero latency mode
Even cleaner than Fircomp 1. Both can be used side-by-side
Innovative digital envelope detection allows for much lower distortion than typical peak compressors, without overshoot or lag
Optional lookahead FIR gain smoothing for an even cleaner sound
Shape-able release stage with musical, highly history-dependent behaviour. Avoids use of multiple compressors in series!
Sidechain hipass filter and external sidechain ability
Easy stereo options with stereo link and balance
Mid / side processing mode
Perceived loudness metering, with easy makeup gain and balance snapping
Switchable vertical or horizontal gain reduction metering, with adjustable range
Quick loading of presets, bucket comparison system
Make it yours, with a resizable GUI, customizable colours and background image!
Low CPU, fully 64-bit DSP code, making full use of SSE instructions. Insert on every track without a second thought!
Zero latency with lookahead off. With lookahead on, compensated latency of 1.5ms
No phase shift or change in frequency response of the audio signal

System Requirements
VST3 for Windows, Intel/M1 64-bit VST3 for Mac OSX 10.13+, and Intel/M1 64-bit Audio Unit (AU2) for Mac OSX 10.11+. A Linux x64 version is available to download, but is not officially supported and is for testing purposes only.

• Simple UI and fast workflow.
• Attack stage tuned for punch. True zero attack (same-sample) when 0.0 ms is selected.
• Dual parallel release stage with musical, highly program-dependent behaviour. Avoids needing to use multiple compressors in series!
• Easy sidechain filtering options for common mixing situations.
• Optional smooth digital FIR lookahead gain smoothing with perfect timing and no artefacts, resulting in the minimum possible distortion.
• Low CPU DSP code written in a mix of C++ and SSE intrinsics. Insert on every track without a second thought!
• Zero latency with lookahead off. With lookahead on, compensated latency of 64, 128, or 256 samples depending on sample rate (approximately 1.3 to 1.5 ms).
