Levels over time
Input is aligned to lookahead. Final output includes makeup and mix; GR shows detector reduction before those controls.
Spectrum and stereo meters
Compare dashed blue input with solid green output in the left-channel spectrum. Separate L/R output bars show RMS and peaks; compressor gain reduction is linked.
Clean by default
A VCA-style detector with a smooth, decoupled release.
Soft knee
From a hard corner to a wide, gradual transition.
External sidechain
Duck against anything your DAW can route.
Mix
Parallel compression without an extra bus, time-aligned.
Delta listen
Listen to the difference between the processed and unprocessed signal on its own, so you can hear exactly what the compressor is taking. Use it next to bypass, then judge the result in your mix.
