Waveform Compressor

See and Hear What Compression Actually Does

This compressor is built for clarity, flexibility, and control — letting you see, hear, and precisely shape your dynamics in any situation.

🎚 See What the Compressor Is Doing

Dynamic Waveform Display

• Real-time before/after waveform comparison

• Visual gain reduction line

• Threshold line overlay

• Zoom in/out freely

• Pause the waveform for inspection

• Enable/disable beat & bar lines

You don’t just hear compression — you understand it.

🎛 Flexible Controls for Any Situation

A massive range of attack and release times makes this compressor suitable for everything from subtle leveling to aggressive transient shaping.

Core Controls

• Threshold

• Ratio: 1:1 to 24:1

• Attack: 20 microseconds → 250 milliseconds

• Release: 25 milliseconds → 5 seconds

• Knee: 0 dB → 18 dB

From ultra-fast transient control to slow glue-style compression, this covers it all.

🎙 Regular & Optical Modes

Regular Mode

• Linear attack & release curves

• Feedforward, peak detection design

• VCA-style character

• Tight, versatile response

Optical Mode

• Variable attack time

• Two-stage release:

  • 50% reduction released in 1 second

  • Remaining 50% released more gradually

• “Memory effect” adapts to sustained gain reduction

This mode delivers organic, musical, adaptive compression — perfect for vocals, bass, and smooth leveling tasks.

🎧 Delta Solo – Hear Only the Compression

Engage Delta Listen to hear only the difference between dry and compressed signal.

This lets you:

• Hear exactly what is being removed

• Analyze transient shaping

• Identify affected frequencies

• Dial in precise settings

An essential feature for learning and fine-tuning.

🔊 Advanced Sidechain Control

• Detector High-Pass Filter (HPF)
  Shape how the compressor reacts to low-end energy

• External Sidechain Support
  HPF, LPF, and Lookahead apply to external input

Perfect for ducking, pumping, or frequency-selective compression.

⚙ Professional Features

• GPU-powered waveform visualizer

• Dynamic window resizing

• Built-in preset manager + 10 included presets

• Type-in values (double click)

• Value display on hover

• Low CPU usage (even lighter when modules are bypassed)

• No license or activation required

📦 Formats & Requirements

• Formats: AAX / VST3 / AU

• Minimum OS:

  • macOS 10.13+

  • Windows 10+

Why This Compressor Stands Out

✔ Visual learning tool
✔ Extreme flexibility
✔ Optical & VCA-style behavior
✔ Professional metering
✔ Efficient & lightweight
✔ No activation needed

A powerful compressor that makes dynamic control visible, audible, and intuitive.
