What CP3V Compressor does
An output driven saturation section works alongside the compression, and VU style metering shows gain reduction. Attack is variable from 0.01 to 100 ms and release from 10 to 500 ms, with ratios of 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1. The plugin is offered as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and a trial is available.
The release circulates as a crack for CP3V Compressor, usually packed as a .rar or .iso archive, and the macOS build is searched as a .dmg crack or AU crack. Torrent and magnet link copies of the Mellowmuse compressor are common, with win/mac crack and x64 crack builds named most often in queries.
Key features
- Multi-stage compression. Compression runs through analogue modelled stages, each one adding more warmth as the signal passes through.
- Output driven saturation. A saturation stage is driven from the output, so the amount of colour follows the compressed signal.
- VU style metering. Gain reduction is shown on a VU style meter in the plugin window.
- Variable attack. Attack can be set from 0.01 to 100 ms to control how quickly the compressor responds to transients.
- Variable release. Release is adjustable from 10 to 500 ms to control how long the gain reduction lasts after the signal drops.
- Selectable ratios. Four ratios are offered: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1.
Compatibility
CP3V Compressor is available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 10.9 with 64-bit builds.
