Richter – Tectonic Compressor

Read more: iPad version: Richter is a tectonic compressor plug-in, designed to achieve heavy compression without too many artifacts. Normally a heavily compressed audio signal gets distorted, and in many cases, a dreadful zipper noise is added to the output because of how the internal envelope followers are engineered. Richter is the fruit from years of experimenting, resulting in a compressor that empowers you to squeeze every bit of sonic perfection out of your tracks, from meaty mixes and punchy drums to smooth, transparent vocal tracks. Due to the algorithms design, a few unconventional parameters are used. First of all, one single parameter (Amount) controls how much compression will get applied. The other important parameter (Transients) controls how the internal envelope follower will react to transients vs lasting sounds. On top of that, there is a Boost-switch that makes the compressor work even harder. Richter also comes with all the expected features like makeup gain, dry/wet mix, input trim, a simple EQ and some factory presets.
