Goodhertz Plug-ins

soundonsound.com

The Goodhertz Vulf Compressor is a bold and creative tool that excels in adding character rather than subtlety. Ideal for drum loops and electronic music, it delivers a unique 'early digital' sound reminiscent of the Boss SP-303's 'Vinyl Sim Compressor.' While the default noise may not suit all, its ability to drastically alter a track's direction makes it a standout for producers seeking distinctive effects. Despite its quirks, this plug-in is a refreshing departure from conventional compressors, offering innovative sound-shaping potential that could inspire new creative directions.

Review: Goodhertz Vulf Compressor Plug-In

mixonline.com

Goodhertz Vulf Compressor is a dynamic compression powerhouse that injects character and attitude into drum and percussion loops, making it a favorite for TV production work. Based on the classic Boss SP-303 Dr. Sample DSP, it offers unique features like Lo-Fi, Wow/Flutter, and Sidechain Listen, enhancing its versatility. While full-on compression can increase gain significantly, the Out slider effectively manages output levels. Recommended presets like Lots of Attack and Slam provide excellent starting points for users. Though it can add analog edge and brightness to bass parts, users should be prepared for its aggressive gain impact. Overall, a robust tool for those seeking a distinct sonic signature.

" “Compression really is the salt of music mixing. It’s the ultimate tool of a mix engineer and the Vulf Compressor is a really boutique, top-shelf Himalayan pink sea salt. This can really change the direction of a song. It’s kind of a one-trick pony in the best sense, in that it gives our songs a really distinct sound and some people will just put it on the entire track. It’s been a really cool addition to people finding out about Vulfpeck through this plugin. I really believe in it. We would not be selling it or commanding that price if it wasn’t a total game changer.”

— Jack Stratton Getting to know Vulf Compressor

Sometime around the turn of the century, an unknown Japanese DSP engineer engineered a radically weird compression algorithm for the Boss SP-303 Dr. Sample Sampler.

Years passed, and this “Vinyl Sim” compression languished in obscurity, a dark art known only to practitioners of instrumental beatmaking, producers like J Dilla and Madlib.

But then Vulfpeck’s Jack Stratton read about the compression algorithm on a forum and enlisted two friends, Devin Kerr and Rob Stenson (co-founders of Goodhertz), to bring that algorithm to life in a digital form.

But Devin did more than just bring it to life — he expanded the algorithm, fine-tuned the sound, perfected its oddity.

And now that compression is the Vulf Compressor. " Demo :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6D9WvwMNr8 Story of the Vulf compressonr : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8qGxsKNfnk&
