PSPaudioware has announced the release of PSP oldTimer, a new vintage-style compressor designed for track and program compression and limiting. PSPaudioware's goal in developing this plug-in was to provide a simple compressor that offers an exceptionally musical sound while requiring a minimum of tweaking.

This plug-in is not based on any specific hardware, rather it is inspired by vintage circuits and is designed to emulate some favorite characteristics of such compressors.

PSP oldTimer is so simple and so easy to use, that it's difficult to make it sound bad even at extreme settings, according to PSPaudioware. It offers soft and smooth compression in most applications, however it may slightly color the sound with its tube emulation on transients when heavily driven internally by high compression values.

Processing specification:

• All internal processing done with 64 bit double precision floats.
• 32 and 64 bit floating point audio streams supported.
• Sample rates up to 192kHz supported.
