Description
Compressive CM is an external sidechain analogue-modeled RMS compressor by Martin Eastwood, with a brickwall limiter and a three-band EQ on the sidechain. Mid/side controls, frequency-dependent compression, and an adjustable knee give the dynamics section room for both corrective and creative shaping.
Short attack and release times, tube/valve modeling, makeup gain, dry/wet blending, 64-bit internal processing, and low CPU usage round out the design. The listing provides VST versions for Windows and macOS.
