Free Plugin - Audiodamage RoughRider 3 | Production Expert

production-expert.com

Rough Rider 3 brings a welcomed update to Audiodamage's compressor lineup with its characterful sound and fast response, making it ideal for punchy drum tracks. The addition of a full bandwidth mode enhances its versatility, offering a brighter tone when needed. While the absence of a detailed gain reduction meter might frustrate some users, the plugin encourages a more intuitive, ear-based approach to compression. This free plugin is a must-try for those looking to add grit and texture to their mixes, though the lack of visual feedback could challenge precision seekers.
