Compressor VST Plugin - Free Download

Drum bus compressor

Rough Rider by Audio Damage is a VST compressor plug-in with a vintage style bite and a uniquely warm sound. Rough Rider is at its best when used to add pump to rhythmic tracks, but it also sounds great with synth bass, guitars, and backing vocals. The Rough Rider VST plug-in features the usual knobs, but without the actual values. So basically you have to use your ears and not your eyes to adjust the compression levels! A very useful feature is the big gain reduction meter, displaying how much compression is occurring to the signal.

Hard compressor VST

The free GranComp VST plugin by BuzzRoom is a Classic Hard Compressor / Limiter. The audio plug-in features 2 gain reduction types (Fat or Tight), 3 different characters (Bright, Hot, or Loud), stereo link, auto or manual release, and a peak limiter for the master output.

Acoustic drums compressor

The LMC-1 compressor plug-in from Solid State Logic emulates the Listen Mic Compressor of the analogue SL 4000E Master Studio System from 1979. There are only three knobs on the VST plug-in: input gain, output gain, and a less / more compression. While the options on the LMC-1 VST compressor are few, the sound is great -especially on acoustic drums.
