Provides the most sophisticated and complete set of dynamics control available

Maintains the character of the original source material even when extreme compression settings are applied

Transparent, frequency-targeted controls for compression dynamics

True Emulation

The compression behavior and sound character of the hardware version have been painstakingly recreated to match the analog model

Oversampling

Increased internal resolution when working with lower sample rates

Integrated M/S Matrix

As an alternative to standard stereo operation, you can process M/S Stereo (mid and side signals), opening up completely new options for your work

Feed Forward & Feedback

Compression types can be individually chosen for each channel, making different compressors available with just a button push

Auto Fast

Switchable semi-automation consistently provides perfect attack and release based on adjustable values – even when working with complex material

Audio Filter

The Niveau Filter changes the proportions between high and low frequencies for added clarity and punch with zero harshness.

Sidechain Filter

Onboard frequency selective compression, avoiding the need for complex routings and favoring an efficient workflow

Parallel Compression

Both direct and compressed signals can be blended as desired

Signal Matrix

Both the direct and processed signals can be monitored individually or together with the push of a button in each channel (left & right or mid & side)

Soft Clip Limiter

Tames short and loud transients and smoothens out signal peaks, providing additional headroom and loudness when needed

Warm Mode

Modeled after the switchable Transformer circuit of the hardware version, the alpha compressor plugin offers very warm and never harsh signal coloration

Mouse wheel Support

Setting parameters with the mouse can be pretty annoying – for this reason the controllers of the plugin can be moved with the mouse wheel easily
