BLOCKFISH is a versatile compressor with countless ways to shape the incoming audio.
Unlike many other digital compressors, BLOCKFISH has ’soul’. It likes to bite, but it can be tamed easily once you’ve learned how to use its potential.
SPITFISH is a dead-easy to use de-esser, aimed mainly at mono or stereo vocal tracks. Just like classic analog de-essers, this unit dynamically filters out harsh, annoying s-like sounds that would otherwise ’spit’ in your face.
FLOORFISH is a simple expander / gate device, easy to set up and offers a broad variety of processing, ranging from slight expansion, backgound noise attenuation to extreme gating effects.
What’s different from similar units is the ability to scan the source and adjust the transistion curve accordingly.

Endorphin is a specialist for complex sources like a mixdown, after having made minor sonic adjustments and right before burning the track to CD.
Furthermore, it can help to increase depth, definition and loudness of a track.
It’s an ‘analog-style’ compressor: endorphin uses models like frequency-dependent nonlinear operation, different harmonics creation stages as well as two basic compressor circuits taken from the analog realm.

Simple Squeeze is a one knob overdrive unit. Auto gain make-up is present, and there is an always-on smooth brick-wall limiter at the end, just to make sure you never get any nasty digital clipping. The knob simultaneously controls threshold and gain, so that the more you crank it, the more squashed your signal gets.

GComp is a general-purpose compressor that offers a host of very useful features not found in other similar tools, such as a system of visual feedback and a full complement of parameters with which to craft exactly the right kind of compression for the job.

GMulti is a three-band compressor with stereo enhancement and advanced visual feedback.
The input signal is split at user-defined frequencies into three bands. Each of these bands can be compressed independently and have its stereo width altered before being mixed back together.

T-SLEDGE is a multi-band compressor for mastering, equipped with peak limiter, level maximizer and 4 compressors/expanders/limiters. And it is equipped with 2 kinds of dividing filter IIR/FIR. So, it also operates as a dynamics EQ.
Features
* Threshold: Controls the threshold of compressing/limiting. The signal at a level that is larger than this value is compressed
* Ratio: Controls the ratio of compressing/limiting. It operates as an expander when this value is smaller than 1.0. When this value is maximized, it operates as a limiter
* Attack: Controls the attack time of compressing/limiting
* Release: Controls the release time of compressing/limiting. It makes the sound smooth, if you choose the large value
* Soft: Sets the soft/hard mode of compressing/limiting process. While the soft mode compression gradually compresses the threshold When the hard mode compression reaches the threshold by the signal, it immediately compresses. There a little differences using it, but it makes compressing/limiting process smooth or vivid. At the present stage, this function becomes effective only to the compression processing
* ARC: Sets the automatic release time control system. (Sets all compressor and limiter release time ARC) Automatically ARC calculates the release time. If you want to create loudness sound, I recommend to turn it off
* IIR-FIR: Sets the dividing filter type. If you want to use for mastering, I recommend to use FIR. FIR filter cause a little latency, but it’s no more than 1ms
* Gain: Controls the level of each output signal
* Input Gain: Controls the level of input signal
* Knob: Ctrl+Left-Click -> Fine adjustment of the value. Shift+Left-Click -> Link adjustment of the value. Ctrl+Shift+Left-Click -> Fine link adjustment of the value
* VU Meter: Range 0dB < -> -40dB

Single band compressor with a very transparent sound, due to responding with varying speed as appropriate for the input frequency content. Use it when you want to avoid excessive pumping.

Compressor is a VST plugIn for the reduction of the dynamics of an input signal. Compressors achieve this goal by analyzing the amplitude envelope of the incoming signal and reducing the gain when the signal exceeds a certain threshold. This reduces the amplitude of the peaks in the audio signal. Now the signal can be amplified further without clipping/distortion. So at the end of the day we have a signal in which the loud parts stay as they are and the quiet parts are amplified. This increases the overall loudness of the signal.

Compressor/saturator. Very easy to use - actually one-slider operation. Pushes audio from minor saturation to Xtreme distortion without clipping - good for “warming up” drums, vocals and everything else actually

A new Compressor from ZA media. Great for crunching those drum tracks and tracking vocals and pads. With a simple interface with a analogue saturation switch for more warmth to those digital tracks.

A new Compressor from 7AIR. Beautifully designed with analogue VU meters and dimpled metal background. Designed specifically for tracking though it can be used in the master bus chain. I primarily use this for drums, guitar and vocals, though it can be used for pretty much anything you throw at it, curbing some high frequencies on synths and pads for example. Tested and working on Windows 7 64bit and Windows Vista SP2 32bit
