This is a simple compressor plugin that was build with the goal in mind to create a good sounding compressor for a wide variety of signals and applications. The GUI is kept minimalistic to improve usability and not clutter the screen.

The original version of this plugin was developed by p-hlp at: https://github.com/p-hlp/CTAGDRC. I, Billy Messenger, do not take any credit for this plugin. This version is a hard fork which adds a modern CMake build system, prebuilt binaries, and some minor improvements.


Features:

  • Input Gain.
  • Threshold/Ratio/Knee.
  • Attack/Release.
  • Auto Attack/Release.

Someone finally made a real build of this. I did one years ago just to try it out, but for some reason it stopped working when I eventually uninstalled Visual Studio (complete noob at coding and couldn't be bothered figuring out why it stopped working).

Version 0.1.2 fixes an issue with the plugin state not being saved or loaded across sessions.

Version 1.1.0 adds a sidechain highpass parameter, labels on the tick marks, and some bug fixes.
