A versatile compressor ranging from transparent parallel processing to an aggressive crush mode, suitable for any source material.

Core Compressor combines the tonal and dynamic control of a high-end bespoke compressor with a clear, producer-friendly interface. Whether you engage crush mode on drum rooms, drive the output transformer on vocals or dial in transparent parallel processing, the plug-in covers a wide sonic palette. The Mix control provides parallel compression without extra routing, and the Body circuit uses a low shelf at 250 Hz to recover the low end lost during hard compression.

Features
