IQ Comp: Compressor Plugin with Boost Modes by Singomakers Free Download

IQ Comp offers both standard and parallel compression, so you can choose between shaping the full signal or blending compressed and dry material with the mix control. The parallel option is useful when you want to keep the transients of a sound while adding density underneath.

The three Boost modes are the plugin's main differentiator. Singomakers describes them as adding density, impact and presence where they matter most in a mix. Use them with restraint to lift a sound without losing its clarity.

Singomakers presents IQ Comp as suited to bass, drums, synths and guitars, with the developer also pointing to vocals and other instruments. On drum and bass groups, the Boost modes can add punch, while parallel compression can help keep the original attack intact.

For vocals and instruments, the plugin is described as capable of gentle control as well as heavier compression, so it can handle both transparent dynamic smoothing and more obvious shaping.

IQ Comp is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats. It runs on Windows 10 and later and on macOS 10.15 and later. Both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs are listed, with the system requirements specifying x64 builds only. A trial version is available to test the plugin before purchase.
