Sonoris Mastering Compressor v1.2.0.0 / v1.0.2.1 WiN MacOSX
Soft / VST Plugins
18-09-2023
The Sonoris Mastering Compressor (SMCP) is a wideband mastering compressor in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS format for Windows and Mac. It is an ultra clean compressor suitable for delicate material. No odd harmonic distortion that can be found in most compressors is present in the SMCP. To reduce residual artifacts the SMCP features upsampling of the audio up to 8 times. Transparency can be further enhanced by selecting auto-release and feedback detection together with two soft knees.
If a more aggressive behavior is needed you can for example choose feedforward detection with a harder knee. It can have some "character” if pushed. If needed, the audio can be warmed up with even harmonics with the flip of a switch.
Besides working on a full mix, the SMCP can also work in split mode on the individual L,R, M or S channels or anything in between, with the variable link. The sidechain for each channel has a selectable high-pass, band-pass and low-pass filter. This gives great flexibility and allows for creative enhancement of the audio.

Our Sonoris releases between 2015 and 2018 have timebomb issue.
Protection changes in 2015 :
* Serial Number check after longer usage
* RSA public key modification check
Once it bombs, it stops processing audio.
We fixed in these new releases. However, if your computer have old license,
it still cause timebomb as a result. Read included text carefully and re-
register all plugins with our latest releases.
We are very sorry we haven't noticed this issue for a long time

Sonoris Mastering Equalizer v1.2.0.0 / v1.0.4.0 FIXED WiN MacOSX
Soft / VST Instruments / VST Effects / VST Plugins
18-09-2023
The Sonoris Mastering Equalizer (SMEQ) is a parametric equalizer in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS format for Windows and Mac. It has selectable linear phase or minimum phase operation per band. The plugin is suitable for mixing and especially mastering and features 7 bands, including lowpass, highpass, peaking and shelving filters.
The SMEQ can be used to enhance or correct difficult material like vocal or instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes, without introducing any unwanted coloring. The linear phase implementation of the SMEQ ensures a transparent character and just boosts or cuts a frequency range without adding a "sound". It doesn’t smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. This way it is possible to boost or cut more than with a conventional equalizer without any of these negative side effects.

Sonoris Multiband Compressor v1.2.0.0 / v1.0.0.0 FIXED WiN MacOSX
Soft / VST Plugins
17-09-2023
The Sonoris Multiband Compressor (=SMBC) is a versatile three band compressor in VST, VST3, AU, AAX and RTAS format for Windows and Mac. It is an ultra clean processor, suitable for delicate material. It has three independent frequency bands, each followed by a compressor based on the Sonoris Mastering Compressor. The three bands are created with carefully designed Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters to avoid phase cancellation problems while having a very natural, analog like quality. By design they mix back flat. Unlike linear phase filters they don’t introduce ringing artifacts and are more efficient in use.
Besides working on a full mix, each filter band can also work on the Left, Right, Mid or Side channels or anything in between, with the variable link. This feature turns the SMBC into a powerful problem solver enabling you to exclusively attack a specific problem in a mix. For example, taming the bass in the Mid channel or a snare hit in the Left channel at 3KHz while keeping the integrity of the mix intact.

The last compressor you will ever need!
M4 Multiband Compressor is designed to be the ultimate mixing and mastering tool. This compressor has 3 user-controlled crossovers resulting in 4 bands that can be as wide or as narrow as you desire. The unique display for M4 shows all of 4 bands together, each with a specialty meter to show threshold, peak level, and gain reduction for the respective band in realtime. All 4 bands are completely in your control by allowing attack time, release time, threshold, ratio, and makeup gain to be set. M4 also has optional auto-makeup gain as well as internal bypass.
Klanghelm DC8C advanced compressor v3.3.2 WiN MacOSX
VST Effects / VST Plugins
12-06-2021
DC8C is one of the most flexible compressors around.
While making a lot of different compression styles possible, it's general nature may be described as: clear, smooth, open, distinct.
The main goal while designing DC8C was to get a very clean compressor action without unwanted and often almost inevitable artifacts/distortion. This way you can achieve almost invisible compression for your most demanding mastering sessions, when you want to avoid coloration.
If you aim for color you can choose between two saturation models.
From opto-style, peak compression, external side-chaining, RMS compression, Feedback, Feedforward compression (and everything in-between) to negative ratios, zero latency brick-wall limiting, from snappy transient treatment to smooth transient rounding - everything is possible.
