What Compressor does
Stagecraft Compressor covers downward and upward compression as well as downward and upward expansion, so the same plugin can tighten peaks or open up quiet passages. An intelligent quantization function is included to make it easier to set up swells that follow bass beats. Presets can be shared and automated, and the developer states that updates are free for Stagecraft plugins and that the preset library expands over time.
Key features
- Up and down processing. Downward and upward compression and downward and upward expansion are all in one plugin, so one unit covers the dynamics roles the developer lists.
- Preset sharing and automation. Presets can be shared and parameters can be automated, which the developer lists as extending the plugin’s functionality.
- Replacement scope. The developer positions the compressor as a replacement for gates, limiters and expanders.
Compatibility
Stagecraft Compressor is available as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit). It requires macOS 10.13 or Windows 7 at minimum, and native support for Apple Silicon is listed. A trial is available.
