Woodpressor Compressor Update
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Audio unit compressor with sidechain

Woodpressor is a high-end audio compressor. It is both a standalone app supporting IAA (Inter-App Audio) and an AUv3 audio unit plugin.
It has all the classic compressor controls like “Threshold”, “Attack”, “Release”, “Ratio”, etc

Ver 1.7 Nov 18, 2018
– Added Brick-wall Limiter
– Added Clip Led
– Added Max dB Out value

bug fixes/improvements :
– fixed small dependency from Tube Class A amount on Distort amount
– BPFilter Listen does not add the Makeup gain any longer (could cause clipping)

– Auto gain
– Tube distort
– Adaptive Threshold
– Non-linear Release
– Side chain filter (bandpass, highpass, lowpass or notch)
– Makeup Gain Limiter
– Brick-wall Limiter

It also has it’s own side chain mechanism as currently no or very little AUv3 hosts implement a side chain.

Woodpressor can save/load user presets, especially useful in standalone mode (or for AUv3 hosts not having their own preset store)
User Presets are written to iCloud Drive which makes them automatically available (and synced, and backed-up) on all devices (and all host apps or DAW’s) running Woodpressor.
