Jon V Audio Fircomp 2 VST3 AU [WIN & macOS]

Jon V Audio Fircomp 2 VST3 AU [WIN & macOS]

Ultra clean peak compressor/limiter with punchy attack, musical release, and optional lookahead smoothing, for tracks or busses. Zero/low latency and low CPU.

Features:

• Fast or same-sample attack times that never sound “clicky”, even in zero latency mode
• Even cleaner than Fircomp 1. Both can be used side-by-side
• Innovative digital envelope detection allows for much lower distortion than typical peak compressors, without overshoot or lag
• Optional lookahead FIR gain smoothing for an even cleaner sound
• Shape-able release stage with musical, highly history-dependent behaviour. Avoids use of multiple compressors in series!
• Sidechain hipass filter and external sidechain ability
• Easy stereo options with stereo link and balance
• Mid / side processing mode
• Perceived loudness metering, with easy makeup gain and balance snapping
• Switchable vertical or horizontal gain reduction metering, with adjustable range
• Quick loading of presets, bucket comparison system
• Make it yours, with a resizable GUI, customizable colours and background image!
• Low CPU, fully 64-bit DSP code, making full use of SSE instructions. Insert on every track without a second thought!
• Zero latency with lookahead off. With lookahead on, compensated latency of 1.5ms
• No phase shift or change in frequency response of the audio signal

Change log:

• Released a small update to fircomp 2 today, with some minor improvements, and a new “coupled peak” mode which is a slight variation of the standard mode
