A compact feedback compressor/limiter with flexible sidechain routing and a low‑shelf detector EQ for punchy, musical dynamic control (VST2, Windows).
Description
as_fbComp is a no-nonsense dynamics tool I reach for when I need tight, musical control without fuss. It combines feedback-style compression and limiting with dedicated sidechain routing so you can sculpt how the detector reacts to incoming signals. Swap between stereo processing or a dedicated mono detection setup to tailor how the plugin responds to your stems.
In mono detection mode the plugin treats one input as the program material and the other as the external trigger, while a blend control lets you determine how much of each source influences the compressor’s detector. There’s also a lightweight low‑shelf EQ inside the detector path so you can reduce or emphasize bass content that would otherwise dominate gain reduction. That setup works great for transparent leveling, rhythmic ducking, or more aggressive pumping effects.
- Ideal for tightening buses, creating rhythmic sidechain effects, and taming peaks
- Flexible source blending for creative detector routing
- Built-in low‑shelf detector EQ for frequency-aware compression
- VST2 plugin for Windows hosts
If you like to stay hands-on with dynamics and prefer tools that get the job done fast, this is a handy addition to a producer or mix engineer’s toolkit.
