FireCobra: Multi Effect Plugin by United Plugins Free Download

Intensify is the core algorithm. United Plugins describes it as an analysis-based process that makes the output tighter and fuller, and it is controlled with a single knob. Smack is inspired by rare analogue devices and adds harmonic distortion that the developer says makes audio sound dirtier and more present in a mix. Analogize is based on a simulation of classic analogue saturation units, which the developer describes as adding warmth to most signals.

In most cases the DRY/WET knob is the only control you need. Increasing it applies more enhancement. The developer notes that a heavier setting on every track can make a mix crowded, so the knob is best used with restraint.

FireCobra is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for macOS and VST3, VST2 and AAX for Windows. The Mac version requires macOS 10.10 or later, with M1 Silicon and macOS 11 Big Sur supported, and runs in 64-bit only on Intel or AMD processors with SSE2 support. The Windows version supports Windows 8 to 10 in 32-bit or 64-bit and needs an Intel or AMD processor with SSE2 support.

The plugin uses internal 64-bit processing and the developer states it handles any sampling rate, including 192 kHz and higher. Licensing uses license files with no iLok, dongle or internet access required. A 15-day trial is available, and a smart bypass is designed to avoid clicks when automating parameters.
