01Overview

pure:comp is built for fast dynamics control on instrument and vocal tracks. Rather than setting threshold, ratio, attack and release by hand, you work with one compression control that combines those parameters. Built-in Style and Clarity options let you choose the compression character and add transparency, with processing tailored to the input signal. The plugin runs on Windows and macOS in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.

03In depth

Sound Character and Clarity Controls

pure:comp offers Style and Clarity as its main sound-shaping options. Style lets you switch between clean, mixed and dirty compression characters, so you can pick the color that fits the source.

The Clarity control applies spectral compression that smooths out tonal imbalances dynamically. Sonible positions it as a way to increase the transparency of a track.

A visualization shows how the plugin is changing the input signal, which helps when you are judging the amount of processing.

Workflow and Compatibility

The main compression control is the only parameter you need to adjust for overall compression strength, since the AI-powered processing handles the underlying settings. Intelligent processing and input-specific profiles are meant to keep results clean, according to the developer.
