Master track titan.

Every producer needs this, in my opinion. Up/Down compression can help add more noise to your sound, and works like glue. On the master track, this is always first. I set everything to 50-75% and then turn the depth knob to 15%.

the best

i can use this on everything like the boss sp-303 vinyl sim compression effect.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Use in light amounts for best results.

This here recreates an Ableton preset, if I recall correctly. I don't use Ableton, much like a ton of other people that use different DAWs, so Xfer Records decided to recreate this preset as a free plugin that can run in most any DAW.

In a nutshell: this is a multiband compressor that tries to crush frequency bands into a tight space. If a signal is too quiet, then the effect artificially increases its volume. If it's too high, it lowers it. There's three bands that affect the lows, mids and highs respectively.

If you use it at 100% depth (I think this is just a fancy ratio knob of some sort?), it'll make everything sound like it was run over by a car in a cartoon, but if you use it very tastefully (like 5-15% depth, and maybe tweaking the post volume of each band), you'll get a glossier sound. I like to use this on my master chain specifically because of that, it does its job to balance out the EQ and bring out some qualities I can't seem to quite get with a regular EQ.

Slap it

Slap some ott on that lead, call it day, go to bed, and, wake up, and put more ott on it.

great plugin by the way. just don't crank it up too much now.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Perfect for watery, airy sounding vocals and synths!

This is actually a very unique sounding compressor, I mainly use it for vocals for a cool watery sounding vocal. I also use this sometimes on an entire mix to make everything more louder and clear sounding.

solid free yet simple multiband compressor

title, it really is one of those "essential toolkit" plugins for most producers, overall would recommend to anyone as a plug-in padder

Must have VST

I think there is not much to say about this preset based multi band compressor other than its just a must have plugin to shape your sound and make it fit mix. Use it on Leads to make them stand out more. 10/10 great effort by Steve Duda!

For a free plugin, pretty cool

This compressor is perfect for when you need to compress the crap out of something, but as the name suggests, it's pretty all-or-nothing. Pro tip: slap it on a piano to make it sound twinkly like the piano in Skrillex's song First of the Year (Equinox).

Multiband Dynamics

Sounds awesome on synths and even on master bus. This multiband compressor, very similar from the Ableton device can turn any boring synth sound or weak mix into something dynamic and powerful

Dope

cool for bringing out some highs, can totally warp sounds like you've never heard before
