Presswerk

Sidechaining: Use ducking to create more space in your mixes, or get creative with keying and pumping effects.

Adjustable compression curve and envelope: Find the best settings, get the most out of your audio using the soft knee, compression ratio, attack and release and other controls.

Loud: Oh yes, Presswerk is more than capable of making your tracks louder.

Soft clip: Roll off those harsh peaks and avoid distortion when output levels get too high.

6 special views for better workflow: Drum Compressor, Vocal Compressor, M/S Program Compressor, Easy Compressor, Bus Compressor, Limiter (see the screenshots above).

M/S mode: More detailed stereo signal processing

Dual Phase Rotator (DPR): applies a radio broadcaster’s trick to reduce unwanted asymmetries in the signal. It smears phases, increases headroom a little and adds bass ‘oomph’.

Saturation: This is where Presswerk really shines—adding colour and character to your audio. Apply Saturation sparingly for subtle warmth and transient-taming, or crank it up to create tape overdrive-like effects.

Internal parallel compression: The Mix controls let you blend the compressed and uncompressed signals. This helps preserve some of the original, natural dynamics.

Variable detection topologies:

• Feed-forward is modern and ‘surgical’, it tracks the input very precisely.
• Feed-back is ‘musical’, loose-sounding and forgiving—like classic hardware.
• Interactive continuously analyzes the signal and blends FF and FB accordingly.
