FirePresser by United Plugins is free until 4/16!
It is a plug-in that both rabbits and horns should get.
FirePresser allows you to blend between 4 different compression types using the XY pad.
It's the same type as the LA2A and 1176, which doesn't have threshold or ratio parameters, and adjusts the INPUT to determine how much it's applied.
(There are "TURBO" parameter that moves close to the threshold, and "Attack" and "Realse")
Sound demo
First, I played the preset.
Since there is a drum category, I changed the preset while playing the drums.
Gain match.
I tried moving the XY pad easily.
You can also right-click to change oversampling and GUI size.
Overview
The secret trick to getting a natural and powerful compression sound is to use multiple compressors in series. FirePresser offers emulations of four of the most iconic analog compressors in a simple interface, all of which can be easily blended to give any material rich analog compression at your fingertips.
