Smooth OperatorIntroducing clarity on demand. Smooth Operator combines equalization, spectral compression and resonance suppression into a singular creative experience that’s instant and intuitive. Use it to perfect your tonal balance and add a touch of ‘hifi’. Our spectral detection algorithm adapts to your audio 44,100 times per second and automatically eliminates fatigued frequencies. This gives you full control to shape your signal and bring out more definition. Highlights:
What is Spectral Processing. The easiest way to understand Spectral Processing is to think of it as manipulating the building blocks that make up a digital signal – rather than the actual signal. Our algorithm uses Fast Fourier Transform – or FFT – to break the incoming audio into tiny particles, which are analyzed and processed separately, before being put back together as audio. This all happens in realtime and allows for a much more surgical approach to resonance detection and rebalancing than what would be possible with traditional audio effects. While most spectral tools focus on audio restoration, we wanted Smooth Operator to be all about creative expression. The plugin is meant for shaping your tone. Use it to compress, EQ and ‘purify’ in one simple process – and know that Smooth Operator has your back when it comes to automatically eliminating artifacts. Smooth Operator comes loaded with 63 presets created by friends of BABY Audio – including:

Puncher 2Intense Power. Perfect Punch. Puncher 2 is a Multi-FX plug-in that will add instant power and punch to your tracks. In terms of compression, this is the all in one tool you’ve been dreaming of. Packed into its compact design you will find 3 different effects. A Transient Shaper, Multiband Compressor and Parallel Compressor. It allows you to combine the power of these 3 amazing tools to create a brand new, unique and powerful sound. Puncher 2 not only allows you to to control the amount of the applied effect, but it also allows you to control the effect itself. Offering advanced options for each effect you can fine-tune every aspect as much as you like. Inside Puncher 2 you will also find 48 configured presets made for various genres and instruments. Puncher 2 is designed to give you absolute tonal control of transient energy so that you can customize and shape those sounds. Rather than have 3 separate units, Puncher 2 has the 3 elements you need to give your mix that clear extra punch, all in one compact plugin. Transient Shaper The ‘Transients’ section lets you shape the transients and sustain of your tracks. The main mix control lets you set the intensity of the effect, while the advanced settings give you control over the stereo linking, bandwidth and envelope length of the detection signal, as well as the maximum boost overage or cut that you want to apply to your signal’s transients or sustain. Multiband Compressor The ‘Multiband’ section divides your track into 4 bands with subtractive IIR filters, creating a real-time linear phase Multiband split. Every band has its own compressor that applies logarithmic attack and release directly to the required gain reduction value, instead of to the detection signal, smoothing out the compression effect in an analogue fashion. Parallel Compressor The Parallel section lets you apply smooth parallel compression to even out the dynamics in your track in a very natural way, or create a powerful compression effect. You can also reduce the dynamic range without reduction to the peak level. The compressor has a continuous RMS time control and a knee width control that will let you fine-tune the compressor’s sensitivity to react aggressive and digital, or silky and analogue. By adding a parallel compressor to work with the Multiband band compressor this increases the effective compression ratio and makes the processing more obvious and effective. In addition to expanding transient peaks, Puncher 2 allows you to shape the frequency response of the transient as well as the sustain signal. Innovations in technology bring new possibilities to customize the sound, plus a new ease of use to achieve the same sought-after results once only achieved by bulky, expensive and complex hardware. Designed with an easily understood and operational interface, Puncher 2 is a compact Multi FX plugin capable of delivering pin drop clarity as well as the hardest most intense punch to your mix.

Parallel AggressorUnlock Unparalleled Powers. Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a “big” mix sound. By processing multiple copies of the same track and blending them together, you can add more punch to a mix — in a more natural-sounding way. It’s like teamwork: Multiple copies of the same track – each focused on doing one specific job – can achieve more together than a single copy being processed to death on its own. Parallel Aggressor is based on this simple concept. The plugin splits your audio into three equal parts:
Work the duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to squeeze every drop of sonic juice out of your track. Great sound – great simplicity. You’re probably using parallel processing all over your mixes already. But Parallel Aggressor is designed to give you the maximum sonic impact with the lowest possible track count. No extra busses or mix faders needed. As with all our plugins, we’ve engineered Parallel Aggressor to inject its own sonic flavor into your mix. The plugin is designed to make the small decisions internally, while leaving the big decisions to you. PARALLEL ENGINE 1: SPANK Spank offers an addictively punchy compression algorithm, designed to adapt to your audio signal. It begins where our I Heart NY plugin ended, with improvements in sound quality, signal detection and flexibility. Style injection buttons: Extra Punch, Extra Smack, Sidechain Filter, Mono PARALLEL ENGINE 2: HEAT Heat is a warm, analog modeled, saturation algorithm with an aggressive bite. It is based on our tape saturator from Super VHS, but has been rewritten and optimized for the Parallel Aggressor release. Style injection buttons: Extra Hot, Tone, HP Filter, LP Filter AUTO GAIN: Auto Gain ensures that the combined output of the plugin’s three signals roughly matches the input/dry level. This allows you to experiment with different internal mix balances while keeping a consistent plugin output. PRESETS: Parallel Aggressor comes loaded with 25 presets created by BABY Audio and some friends of the house:

DialsThe treasured sound of 1950s electronics re-created Dials is a detailed digital translation of a unique combination of 1950s electronic music hardware from composer and YouTuber Hainbach’s studio. It is made with the rich sound and experimental spirit of early electronic music studios in mind. The basis of Dials is a re-purposed German vacuum tube radio broadcast device paired with a heavy-duty American bandpass filter. They form a channel strip like no other. The scientific and radio background of the equipment provides a tone that sets it apart, whether you are processing vocals, drums, or any other instrument. Due to the built-in compressor, it is perfectly suited to lend your voice-over the “larger than life” feeling of great recordings of the past or make your drums sound like they could get past the door at Berghain. Speaking of which: if you are feeling adventurous, feed it impulses and hear it roar like Stockhausen at a Gabber party. While its roots are in the past, this is a truly modern device with an unparalleled sound. It can be used to sweeten your music or to experiment – it can even become an instrument in your hands.

IA-LA1 Compressor Plugin Features
Easy Compression IA-LA1 is a simple to use Compressor plugin. Threshold and Make up gain are the two main controls. The threshold represents the level at which compression will start to affect the audio. Anything over the threshold is compressed, which reduces the dynamic range of the audio. The threshold is shown as an orange line on the input meter, compression will start to happen when the audio level goes above this line. Now use the Make up gain to compensate for any loss in loudness. That’s it! Get perfect compression every time with just these two controls. No need to set an attack or release like on many other compressors. Meet your new compressor plugin. Initial Audio IA-LA1 Compressor.

+10db Compressor+10db Compressor is meticulously modelled after one of the industries most iconic hardware compressors. Unless you refuse to listen to any music after Beethoven, you most certainly have heard this unit in action. Best yet, this is the first time this hardware unit has been available in plugin format. +10db Compressor is the first of it’s kind channel strip plugin. This plugin is modelled after a very highly sought after compressor hardware unit. We didn’t just use the hardware unit for inspiration, we dug in deep and made sure that it sounded just like the original. Why Did We Model This Unit? Here’s the deal. It seems like everybody is modelling hardware these days, but we wanted to do something a little different. We didn’t want to model any hardware units that have been done a million times. We wanted to do something that had never been done before but has been an icon in the recording industry, and the only way to do that was to team up with producer/mixer David Bendeth. He just happened to have a few of these in his rack, so he sent us one to pour over. Unless you stopped listening to music after “Johnny B Goode” then you have most definitely heard this hardware unit many many times. Think of Led Zeppelin drums. In order to get this same compressor in hardware, not only would you have to pay over $2,000 to get one, but you’d have to deal with all the other drawbacks of using analog hardware. For a very small fraction of the price, you can get that same sound in the much more convenient software format. There are really no downsides (unless you live in Alaska an need a room heater) A Few Extra Features Since we weren’t bound by the limits of the analog hardware, we took the liberty of adding a couple features that make this even more powerful than the original hardware. For one, we added a “Dry Passthrough” knob that makes parallel compression super easy, without having to set up extra buses. Available Formats

BIGGIFIERSound BIG Instantly BIGGIFIER by Aden is a powerful one-knob that delivers an instant and addictive shot to the metaphorical arm of any sound. Jack up that wimpy kick, beef up the faintest of vocals and juice any flaccid sample into a BIG, fat, room-filling sound. Don’t be afraid to keep cranking up that knob until you hit maximum Bigness. The fact that it’s so insanely simple and quick to use and the quality of the output so high, across a range of modes, makes this a must-have tool for both the most seasoned producers out there, as well as those just starting to explore sound design and production. Designed by artist, songwriter and producer Jonas Aden in conjunction with WA Production, the BIGGIFIER has been a long-time coming. Having released records on labels including Spinnin, Musical Freedom, Hexagon, Heldeep and STMPD, Jonas has also fine-tuned his production skills across a slew of stellar collaborations with Brooks, Mesto and Mike Williams and remixes for Katy Perry, Zedd, Tiesto, Jonas Blue and Rita Ora. All the while, behind the scenes, Jonas’ co-writing and production credits include industry titans Martin Garrix, Alan Walker & ASAP Rocky. Not content with just becoming a revered artist and seasoned producer in his own right, for years, Jonas has made it his mission to provide as much help and support to the wider music community as possible. As well as giving away his signature sample packs as free downloads on his website, and creating over 70 in-depth production tutorial videos on his YouTube channel, last year Jonas also gave away $10,000 of his own money to support two upcoming producers as part of the inaugural Aden Award. Needless to say, Jonas has earned the respect and trust of music producers across the globe – a claim that is backed up by immense stats with over 30 million views and nearing 2 million hours of watch-time on his YouTube channel; hundreds of thousands of subscribers and followers across his social media channels and of course many many millions of streams across his music catalogue of releases co-writes and productions. Since first discovering music as a young boy, Jonas has worked with music production software almost every-single-day of his life. It follows that it has been a long-held dream of Jonas’ to release his very own signature plugin. And so when the concept materialised in Jonas’ mind late one winter’s evening last year, Jonas engaged the team at WA Production to help him bring it to life. 5 Ways To Get Big Everyone knows that weak and weedy production can destroy an otherwise great track, so the challenge is to constantly aim for bigger and better. That’s where Biggifier excels, with a pure and simple one-knob concept, designed to take the stress out of production and take your individual instrument parts to the next level. Most of the hard work is being done behind the scenes, with each of the 5 modes tailored to a specific type of processing, with some genuinely genius transformations to get your music slamming, right out of the gate. Secret Signal Chains Biggifier houses 5 bespoke signal chains for making any type of audio fatter, wider and juicer. Some of these modes are based on tried-and-tested concepts like chorus, reverb and overdrive but each has been given that special Jonas Aden twist. Secret settings under the hood push these once-familiar processing tools into territory that will breathe new life into your productions. Witness the Bigness The BIGGIFIER is ludicrously simple to use and the interface allows you to easily make tweaks to the processing so that every element is personal to you and your music. Utilise the Mix and Length dials to shape the effects further. So whether you want a subtle thickening of your synth line, or a harder-hitting kick, there’s a perfect setting in BIGGIFIER to get you the sound you desire as quickly as possible… the rest is up to you. Input, Output & Mix With adjustable gain levels, the live input and output meters show exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through the plugin in real time. The input fader also features a safety-limiter. Crank the Bigness dial up and you’ll see the Output meter start to show the strain as the glass starts to crack. Choose to combine the processed signal with your original raw audio via the Mix ratio control, allowing you to dial in parallel processing effects. Presets The many included presets will speed up your search for the perfect starting point to begin beefing up elements of your track. These factory options can be used on guitars, bass, drums, synths, vocals and any kind of audio. The presets include everything from subtle thickening to more full-on transformation effects. Features

Presser by Aiden KenwayPresenting the superstar compressor plugin. With powerful controls and an intuitive interface, this exclusive artist-collaboration allows you to effortlessly fashion the dynamic range of your audio signals, whilst simultaneously adding characterful punch and presence. Presser is developed in collaboration with producer and YouTube remake legend Aiden Kenway. The plugin features signature processing chains from his productions, not only transforming dynamics, but also sculpting the character of audio. Whether you’re looking to shape transients, add bite, or glue together an entire mix, Presser has you covered, in just one plugin. About Aiden Kenway Redefining the producer space during his career as an educator and YouTuber, Aiden Kenway trains his 240,000 subscribers in the art of music production. His hit-making music tutorials include over 150 song deconstructions. Using FL Studio, he breaks down and remakes popular rap and hip-hop songs and has accumulated a staggering 20 million views. His rapid ascent has led him to meet and work with many of today’s top producers for artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, Drake and Travis Scott. Aiden continues to lead a new generation of music producers, expanding the boundaries of sound design and music production. Character The GLUE control changes the behaviour of the compressor’s detector and processor. When set to 0%, Presser will act as a fast peak compressor, taming transients. At 100%, the compression model will behave like a classic bus compressor, providing more sustained changes and a smoother sound. Use the PUNCH dial to introduce transient punch using a built in dynamic equaliser. Kicks, snares, basslines and more can be made snappier and tighter with this control. HEAT adds analog style saturation both pre and post compressor, introducing harmonics and sonic artefacts. Adjust the dial from subtle warmth to gritty overdrive. Detector The CHANNEL LINK dial allows you to choose whether the stereo channels will be processed independently or together. This feature allows for greater control over the compressor’s behaviour, enabling subtly different processing on each channel or preservation of the stereo image. HIGH-PASS controls the frequency of a high pass filter for detection. This helps to reduce the unwanted pumping effect of more delicate compression settings. It’s a common technique to SIDECHAIN a compressor to a different audio trigger. Of course we had to include it as part of Presser, but with a special twist. The variable control can be set to any level between 0% (normal compression) and 100% (sidechain input only), making for some creative sidechain possibilities. The Basics, Done Right With all the compressor controls you know and love, Presser is the first compressor plugin you should fire up. As well as Aiden Kenway’s innovative additions, it features all the basic compression parameters you need for everyday use. This makes Presser a versatile and powerful tool for shaping the dynamic range of a wide range of different types of audio. Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release and Makeup Gain controls are all present and correct, allowing you to fine-tune the compressor’s behaviour to suit the needs of the signal and the desired creative effect. Input, Output, Mix, Bypass & Limiter Choose to mix the compressed signal with your original raw audio via the MIX ratio control, allowing you to dial down the wet / dry for parallel compression effects. Click the LIMITER button to limit the output of the plugin. Push more signal into the limiter using the OUTPUT setting, resulting in more limiting and a louder result. The BYPASS control is smoothed to be as click and pop free as possible for unhindered A/B testing. Visual Feedback The live visuals of the interface meters show exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through the compression stages in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring at every step of the chain. Presets With many included artist-curated presets, it’s easy to find an ideal starting point for your compression session. Named and categorised, these presets can be applied to all sorts of audio and include everything from subtle shaping to more complex chains with heavily processed compression effects. W. A. Production are real-life producers making creative plugins to help you achieve studio quality processing quickly and easily. Enjoy! Features

Complexer 2Complexer 2 is a dynamics powerhouse, letting you take complete control of your track. Three Processors – Six Modes Complexer 2 features three independently controlled dynamics processors, each with a choice of six different modes: Upward and downward compressors, upward and downward expanders, a limiter, and a gate. Each of the three stages can be processed in a variety of different configurations, including parallel chaining, stereo and mid/side, and multi-band. Dynamics Chaining Complexer 2 lets you run the three dynamic processors through a configurable chain. You can have all three in series, or run two in parallel with the third either before or after. Full Control Each of the processors feature a vast amount of control. Along with the familiar attack, hold and release, each processor has an advanced look-ahead section to capture peaks ahead of time. There are also three detection modes: peak, RMS and average. Peak is perfect for limiting, and RMS allows smooth detection – great for compression. Each processor can also be controlled via an external sidechain. Multiband With Complexer 2, you can run each of the processors in their own adjustable frequency band. Not limited to just compression, you can also do multi-band limiting, expanding, and gating, allowing effects ranging from mixing and mastering applications, to creative effects. Mid/Side and Stereo There are two separate modes specifically for stereo dynamics processing – mid/side, and stereo. In stereo mode, you can process the left and right channels independently, and in mid/side mode, you can apply different dynamics to the mid or side channels of the audio. Complexer 2 should work in any DAW that can run VST or AU plugins, on any dual core system with at least 1GB of RAM. Always try the demo first! Windows

XTT By VINAIMixing: Magnified Italian brothers, Alessandro & Andrea Vinai, are known for their hands-in-the-air Big Room EDM sound. Coming together as a music production duo over a decade ago, they are currently signed to Spinnin’ Records and dominate the Beatport charts. In their careers as DJs they host sell-out club nights and pack in partygoers from all around the globe. Now they finally bring their production talents and distinctive sound to the software realm, with this versatile compression plugin. Over a year in development, this innovative collaboration with W. A. Production brings a piece of VINAI into your own studio. 5-band Compressor: The 5-band compressor passes your audio through low, low-mid, mid, mid-high and high bands, all with adjustable crossovers. Each band has its own tweakable threshold level and make-up gain dial. These settings give an unparalleled level of control to your compressed signal. Intuitively drag the threshold levels and frequency crossover points to shape your sound, all whilst watching the real-time frequency analyser display the results of your adjustments. Surgical Shaping: Each of the 5 bands has an optional surgical shaping section to control the specifics for that particular band. Solo it, mute it, adjust the RMS, the Attack and Release or tilt the Mid / Side information. Upward & Downward Compression: With independent controls, upward and downward compression can be dialled in simultaneously – up to 200%. This allows for sound-shaping fixes, such as balancing vocal levels or clamping down on drum transients whilst simultaneously bringing up the level of the room ambience. Using these two types of compression also offers up creative possibilities, emphasising the splashy explosiveness of transients or creating room tone out of thin air. Time: For a quick and easy way to scale up the attack and release times of all of the 5 different bands, use the Time dial. This applies timing changes across the board, useful for previewing what might happen with the more surgical per-band attack and release settings. Limiter: No need to use a third party limiter as XTT’s built in Brickwall Limiter adds unique saturation to the signal, without introducing unwanted distortion. It’s transparent behaviour can be dialled in with an adjustable Boost setting, to ensure that your outgoing audio is as punchy and loud as possible without sacrificing the fidelity of the sound. Linked In & Out Faders: Gain staging is a really important factor in effective plugin processing. With that in mind, the Input and Output faders can be linked, so that you can tame the signal going into XTT whilst simultaneously keeping control of the output volume. The meters allow accurate visualization of the incoming and outgoing signal whilst you finesse your settings. Keeping a close eye on the meters whilst you tweak your compression values makes it easy to preserve the theoretical loudness of the sound. Bypass & Master Mix: The bypass control is smoothed to be as click and pop free as possible for unhindered A/B testing. Choose to mix the compressed signal with your original raw audio via the central Mix ratio control, allowing you to dial down the compression ratio for parallel effects. Visual Feedback: The real-time frequency display shows exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through each stage of the compressor in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring for each of the 5 bands and at every step of the signal chain. Presets: With many included presets, it’s easy to find the perfect starting point for your own compression adventures. All with distinct uses and expertly-designed settings, these presets can be used on all sorts of different audio to instantly preview a wide range of creative effects. They include everything from subtle shaping to more full-on saturated compression. And of course, you can save your own settings too. W. A.

SphereCompSphereComp – A dual mode compressor plugin W. A. Production has created the perfect way to approach and achieve proper compression. All producers know compression can either be an award-winning tool if used properly, or it can totally destroy your mix. Audio students are introduced to compression and most are left confused or scared to death of it. SphereComp is capable of catering to the seasoned pro and the beginner. To get the same results you get with SphereComp you would have to spend thousands of dollars in high end rack gear, invest time getting acquainted, making adjustments over and over until you get the result you want. Not to mention installation and routing your patch bay. Breathe a sigh of relief. Don’t dread compression. Embrace it. What is dual – mode? Dual mode allows YOU to switch from peak compression (regular mode) to RMS compression (buss mode). If you route your drum tracks (or any other group of tracks) into a group track, you are able to compress this group as a whole. Tying or “gluing” the individual elements to perform as one. The Buss mode is designed especially for that, It reacts to the RMS (root mean square) or the average of the signal, creating a smooth and musical compression. Regular mode reacts to the peaks of the signal, with it, you are able to dynamically shape the individual tracks. Keep in mind that some individual tracks will benefit much more from RMS compression and some groups or mixes will benefit more from peak compression, so experiment and see what works best for your track Features
Now that you have your set your levels as a basic start, lets adjust the timing and behavior. When you’re done, you can come back and fine tune everything to make your track seat perfectly in the mix.
To help you out there are also 45 presets that focus on individual instruments and drum sounds as well as groups, mix buss and mastering presets. This is yet another way W.A. Production has made it easy for you to learn as you go. See what the pro’s do and make your own modifications. And as if that wasn’t enough to get you excited and ready to master compression, you will find pro tips and tricks inside the manual. That’s right, we weren’t going to just leave ya hanging to figure it out for yourself. There is a manual to assist you with getting started and getting the most out of Sphere Comp. Be done with complicated compressors from creators who spent more time on the graphics than the functionality of the plug in. W.A. Production are real producers making real plug ins. We know how it is, and we make it how it should be.
The plugin likely will not work properly on older OS versions. If the demo appears to work on your older system, this does not guarantee that the full version will work properly. If you are unsure whether or not the plugin will work on your system, please email [email protected].

MTurboCompMTurboComp is the ultimate (not-only) compressor, which emulates most of the classic vintage analogue compressors. Unbelievable sound, uniquely fast workflow, tons of additional features. And you can design your own super-compressors with it! Compression Reinvented for Easier and Faster Workflow MTurboComp obviously speeds up the workflow tremendously by providing access to so many classic compressors in a single click. But it doesn’t stop there. Compressors are one of the most overused tools of any audio engineer, yet they are still based on designs and controls decades old, making them so hard to use. How about controlling the amount of compression? Such a basic task, yet almost impossible without changing output level making any decisions almost impossible. So we took the liberty to set a new standard. All of the compressors MTurboComp emulates have almost the same GUI, so that you always know what to do. They do have the controls the originals did, but they have far more than that: Compression to control amount of compression with minimum changes to output level, Saturation to get additional character, Dry/wet control for parallel compression, and finall, side-chain input, detector high-pass, low-pass and a peak filters, so that you can easily tune the compressor to your audio material. The classic Melda goodies such as automatic gain compensation, safety limiter, mid/side processing and A-H snapshots are included of course. Emulations Designed by Machine Learning Developers usually simulate the vintage compressors by analyzing the circuits and test signals. That way it takes a long time to emulate a single compressor and it is prone to all kinds of errors. We took a very different approach – we designed a dynamics processor so versatile, that it could simulate almost anything. And we definitely didn’t dare to set it up manually afterwards – we let the computers do that for us! It took the computers a long time and didn’t spare us days of listening tests and manual work, but it still got us to a great emulation of more than a dozen classic compressors in a record time :). They don’t sound exactly the same, after all not even the originals don’t sound exactly the same to one another. But maybe MTurboComp sounds better then the originals. Just try and listen for yourself. Design your Own Super-Compressor! Well, perhaps you don’t like something about the vintage tools. MTurboComp lets you change them. Or even better, it lets you invent new dynamics processors. With 4 level detectors running in parallel, each following the input or side-chain and having all kinds of settings and transformation curves, a fully featured dynamic equalizer and 2 saturators you can do a lot… almost anything if you count in the modulators. So how about listening to both the input and the side-chain at the same time? Or following different parts of the spectrum with different settings? Perhaps you can come up with much better ideas!

Manic CompressorManic Compressor was designed from the beginning to be more than just a compressor. It was designed to unleash the power of parallel compression without requiring complex routing in your DAW. Even with 6 different compressor modes and a comprehensive parallel routing setup, Manic Compressor uses an intuitive interface to get you way more power from your compressor than you’ve ever had before. Maximum Parallel Power Parallel compression is a key ingredient that has been used by top mixers for years, but up until now, it has always required complex routing and increased clutter in your mix project to be able to utilize it on every track. Many compressors have a mix knob for blending the compressed signal with the dry signal, but we have found that this just doesn’t give enough control to really make use of the extensive power of parallel compression. With individual wet and dry faders, along with an intuitive yet powerful EQ section, it won’t take long to recognize how much you’ve been missing out on. After using Manic Compressor on our projects, we realized that we have been missing out on a whole new world that we didn’t even know existed with compression. 6 Different Compressors Even with so many good compressors out there, we find that it’s cumbersome to switch back and forth between different compressors with different settings trying to find the exact match for your track. With Manic Compressor, you can quickly switch between 6 different compressors without having to match settings. Because Manic Compressor was designed from the ground up to be used in parallel, we were able to make some compressor modes that really shine in parallel. Built for Abuse With Manic Compressor’s innovative parallel design and Loudness Relief, this compressor was built to be abused. Subtle compression is a thing of that past (unless you want it, of course). Manic Compressor lets you put your settings to maximum carnage and then ease it off with its unique Loudness Relief knob, which softens the compression artifacts even under super heavy load.
