Transparent compression Action is a cornerstone for any mastering compressor. Transparency is necessary to preserve all existing elements in the mix, while compression itself is necessary to make the mix sound uniform to other mixes (tracks) and to make it sound more solid. Artistic dynamics adjustment also requires a high degree of transparency from the compressor. This allows the user to retain the original signal's clarity, while improving its dynamics.
Voxengo Polysquasher was designed with these things in mind. It offers a highly transparent compression performance and a high level of control, with only a minimum number of adjustable settings available at users' disposal. This makes it ideal for common mastering applications.
Its unique-to-date compression technology--which gives an unprecedented compression transparency--additionally allows the user to give a very special `touch' to the signal being processed. It subtly tightens the low end and reveals the high end, creating a special `fresh' sound.
To sum up, this is a very interesting audio compressor plug-in. Its compression effect can be slightly disorienting for the first time, since it differs from the other compressors greatly. But after some time of use, its performance will be OK for you.
