PSP VintageWarmer2: Single- and Multi-Band Compressor Limiter by PSP Audioware

PSP VintageWarmer2 works in single-band or multi-band mode. In single-band mode, shelf filters handle the bass and treble frequencies. In multi-band mode, you control the bass and treble signal components separately.

The FAT (Frequency Authentication Technique) option is PSP's double-sampled processing mode. It is the main addition over the other versions in the VintageWarmer family and is intended to push the processing closer to an analog character. Processing runs in 64-bit floating point precision.

The plugin includes accurately calibrated VU and PPM meters with overload indicators, so you can monitor levels while shaping dynamics. Brick-wall limiting can be engaged or disengaged, depending on whether you want soft-knee compression or limiting.

Two release multiplier ranges let you choose between fast or relaxed release behavior, and a semi-automated release mode is also available. The plugin is suited to mixing tasks such as controlling dynamics and adding warmth to tracks or buses, and to mastering tasks such as managing density and average signal level.
