A transparent compression action is the corner-stone for any mastering compressor. Transparency is necessary to preserve all the existing elements in the mix, while the compression itself is necessary to make the mix sound more solid.
Artistic dynamic adjustment also requires a high degree of transparency from the compressor. This allows one to retain the original signals clarity while also giving a chance to improve the dynamics.
Voxengo Polysquasher was designed while keeping these things in mind. It offers a highly transparent compression performance and a high level of control with only a minimum number of adjustable settings available at the users disposal. This makes it ideal for common mastering applications.
Its unique compression technology (while giving an unprecedented compression transparency) allows for a very special "touch" to be applied to the signal being processed. It subtly tightens the low end and reveals the high end, creating a special "fresh" feeling.
To sum up, this is a very interesting PC VST compressor plug-in. Its compression effect can be slightly disorienting at first, since it differs from other compressors greatly, but after some time its performance will be OK for you.
