Voxengo Deft Compressor
An audio signal compressor plug-in for professional audio production
applications. The characteristic feature of this compressor is its
ability to produce “slim” and “slick” sounding compression, with
intelligibility enhancement effect. Such result is achieved by
compressor’s timing function that closely resembles the S-curve on both
attack and release stages. S-curve timing function also helps
compressor to sound “warm” and “clean” at most settings.
While at high attack settings Deft Compressor can be used to emphasize
audio transients, it can also be used to “smash” audio signal if you use
attack settings as low as 0.1 millisecond. Deft Compressor also
features a so called “vintage” compression mode which produces
compression sound reminiscent of analog valve compressors: it produces a
warm, gently saturated sound with the ability to overdrive the output
signal.
Deft Compressor is perfectly usable for compressing vocals, drums,
guitars and other instruments, both technically and creatively. Beside
that, it can be used to compress mix groups and full mixes.
