Oct 31, 2017 TrackComp multi-compressor effect plugin by DMG Audio. Digital compressor with variable curves based on Compassion. Classic compression sounds of the last 50 years. TrackComp for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/RTAS/AAX) is available for the intro price of £67 GBP. More information: DMG Audio / TrackComp.
Nov 09, 2017 DMG Audio released TrackComp, a new compressor plug-in that features Five Compressors spanning the history of pro-audio. Filthy and distorted to invisible and clean; tubes, optos, FETs, transistors.
TrackComp’s awesome DMG compressor model is in fact the simplified version of DMG Audio’s super-deep Compassion, previously due for self-contained release under the name COMPact. It differs from the other four in that it’s an entirely original, software-only design with none of their analogue colouration.
The Track Range Plugins work with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10, 32bit and 64bit. As much of the DMG characteristic as possible whilst functioning without latency. The “Soft Knee”. Ratio acts just like a compressor’s ratio. The bigger the number, the more aggressive the.
The Logic Pro X compressor already sort of does that and fares well, but if you are sick of it (or not a Logic user), here’s one to look into: DMG Audio’s TrackComp. DMG is the kind of company found by audio professionals who decided to stop butting heads with their profit-driven execs and go do their own thing.
Compassion is a fully-featured dynamics processor, ready for any dynamic processing on any signal. Dnd 5e sneak attack dmg.
Behind the UI lies perhaps the most flexible dynamics engine ever designed.Any channel, any task, Compassion is ready to enable you to get the job done.
Grab the demo, see for yourself.
If EQuality and Compassion can't do what you want, you have a problem no EQ or compressor can solve!
It's the most configurable dynamics plug-in we've ever encountered.. An outstanding musical dynamics tool that's a jack of all trades and master of most. 10/10
Not since the Monolith appeared amongst the apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey, have a tribe of primates looked so bewildered with what had landed in front of them. Compassion is so much more than just another dynamics processor. It is, in fact, nothing less than an evolutionary leap forward and this is the compressor by which all others will be judged. Its flexibility and 'tweakability' warrants that this plugin should spawn its own community of modders. The extent of its possible settings could take us years to realize, but thanks to Dave, the 'creative' use of compression is back on the menu and you won't need Escobar's money to buy in. In Dave We Trust.

In designing processors, I've found that the most important thing is to understand how and why they're used. After designing EQuality, investigating Dynamics seemed an obvious next step.
One of the most important things I discovered, which may seem obvious, is that people don't just have one; each different compression task will have a unit best suited to it. So it seemed natural to develop a model of dynamic processing that included all the different schools of design, and build a unit that would allow you to get the job done, no matter what you needed to achieve.
I came up with an idea that fused measurement with circuit design. I measured different compressors, built models of the circuits and then unified all the models into one gigantic structure that could model any of them. Then I made as much of it variable as possible; so you could dial in designs in between models.
So here's Compassion; going way beyond modelling and giving you a tool that imparts massive dynamic control. I didn't stop at compression; I kept on going through gate/expanders, upwards expansion/compression, an absurdly flexible sidechain, parallel compression, frequency-conscious and frequency-specific compression (dynamic EQ style), overcompression, the ability to SHAPE your attack/release curves, a transient shaper, a hybrid clip-limiter module, the list goes on..
So there I was with the mother of all dynamics processors, with close to 100 parameters. And then the interface design work started. After months of research into how best to present information and how to structure the UI for easy workflow, the current Compassion UI was born; based on countless hours of discussion with a board of engineers about their workflow.
I think Compassion is a pretty unique processor; being able to jump so quickly between unlistenable sonic death through to the softest most delicate processing a vocal might want within a few clicks is an overwhelmingly exciting thing to have; the Mods system saving you from needing to constantly dive in to the scores of advanced settings.
