Free Compressor Plugin For Mac & Windows

free-compressor-mac-windows

Tokyo Dawn Labs has released Feedback Compressor II, a free compressor plugin for Mac & Windows.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

Most modern compressors analyze the input signal to control gain reduction. This is known as a ‘feed-forward’ topology. The TDR Feedback Compressor II, however, analyzes the output. This approach delivers unobtrusive and highly musical compression characteristics which mean the compressor is able to handle complex signals with ease.

The TDR Feedback Compressor II takes this traditional compression topology to new heights as a state of the art dynamics processor combining an unusual and highly flexible, yet intuitive control scheme. The compressor has been carefully tuned for intuitive and musical operation for almost every situation. No compromises have been made in order to achieve the highest possible quality of dynamic control.

We want to emphasize the fact that the processor neither tries to emulate any previously available device, nor does it follow popular trends like ‘virtual analogue’, ‘circuit modeling’ or similar buzz words. This is a proud digital processor, made with an immense amount of love and care.


Features:

  • Beautiful ‘Feed-Back Compression’ sound and behavior
  • 64bit floating point precision for all relevant calculations
  • Multi-rate processing structure for highest accuracy, critical operations run up to 8 times the original rate
  • Delta oversampled signal path (bit transparent without processing)
  • Three side-chain filter slopes: 3dB/Oct, 6dB/Oct and 12dB/Oct
  • Super fast and natural sounding compression.
  • Independent release controls for peak and RMS compression
  • Unique control scheme
  • Crest Factor control
  • Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus
  • Delta preview mode. Allows to preview the difference between compressed and original signal
  • Latency compensated parallel bypass (i.e. processing not interrupted)

TDR Feedback Compressor II is a free download at the Tokyo Dawn site.

  1. Trying it for 15 min, I like it.
    I don’t have hi-end stuff to compare it to, just the ableton stìuff. But it feels like it’s gluing the master really nicely, and clean. I like the peak and rms working in parallel.

  2. Thanks! I downloaded this yesterday- i only had a quick play about with it, but it sounds good, and seems to do what they (TokyoDawn) say it does! Nice!

  3. Wow thanks for the treat! A true gem, threw it on the drum-bus for a few seconds before I replaced all compressors in the project! <3

  4. Added to my most recent project, thanks 🙂 Just what it needed :DDD

    Better than the first version of this compressor i must be honest

  5. Thank you very much.You know it will be used.Thanks for thinking about us musicians,who can’t afford all the tools we’d like 😉
