Techivation launches T-Compressor, an easy-to-use serial compression plugin with multiple compressor modes for your music productions.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

British plugin developer Techivation has released T-Compressor. The launch of T-Compressor is the second major launch for Techivation since T-De-Esser Pro<\/a><\/strong><\/span> which is a free de-esser plugin for taming harch sibilances in vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes T-Compressor somewhat unique are the multiple compressors<\/a><\/strong><\/span> it features – boasting three compressors in one plugin! As a result, you can insert just one instance of a T-Compressor and create a self-sufficient serial compression chain. The plugin is designed with shaping the dynamics of any signal in a creative way in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of the interface sits a bypass switch, a switch that allows you to choose which of the three compresses in the chain you want to work with, and an A\/B test selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For accurate level monitoring, T-Compressor features a VU meter (Volume Unit<\/strong>) which is often more accurate than a peak meter. This is the case because a volume unit is a\u00a0metering tool\u00a0that provides a\u00a0calculated estimate\u00a0of\u00a0how loud a channel\/bus\/signal actually is<\/em> in relation to how we naturally perceive loudness. However, the VU meter can be switched to a digital graph representation with a toggle switch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below the level meter sits four switches that allow you to choose between different compression modes. These include Clean<\/strong>, Crispy<\/strong>, Warm<\/strong>, and Thick<\/strong>. Here is a description of the different modes by Technivation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Clean – The compressor sounds fully transparent when the \u201cClean\u201d mode is selected.\u00a0<\/li>
  • Crispy – This mode adds more brightness and unique colour to the sound.<\/li>
  • Warm – It adds warmth and an analog vibe to the sound when selected.<\/li>
  • Thick – This mode helps make the sound more open and three-dimensional, as well as bringing dull sounds to life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, beneath the mode selection sits a simple attack, threshold, compression amount knob, and makeup gain control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
