ARCOMP

ARCOMP is a versatile compressor with four distinct detector characters. CLEAN delivers transparent control, PUNCH preserves transients while tightening the body, GLUE provides smooth, consistent bus compression, and VINTAGE responds with slower, coloured, programme-dependent movement. Each mode changes how the compressor reacts to the signal, rather than simply loading different parameter settings. Shape the response with ratios from 1:1 to 20:1, adjustable knee, attack and release, while RANGE limits the maximum gain reduction and HOLD keeps compression in place before the release begins. Up to 5 ms of LOOKAHEAD catches fast peaks before they pass through. Process the full stereo signal, mid, or sides, with adjustable STEREO LINK controlling how independently the left and right channels react. MIX provides parallel compression, while AUTO GAIN compensates for level changes to make comparisons easier. A scrolling waveform displays gain reduction against the incoming signal, while the transfer curve visualizes threshold, ratio, and knee. ARCOMP includes factory presets for vocals, drums, mastering, parallel compression, and more.
