FairShape

Designed to glue your mix together with unparalleled warmth, thickness, and analog behavior.

Meet FairShape, a variable-mu tube compressor inspired by one of the most legendary mastering compressors in audio history.

FairShape isn't just another digital dynamics tool. It breathes, it pumps, and it reacts to your transients just like the classic hardware, giving your tracks that radio-ready, larger-than-life polish.

Features:

• Dual-Mono / Mid-Side Operation: Full independent control over the Left/Right channels, or switch to M/S mode to compress your mono center differently from your stereo width. Perfect for advanced mastering.
• Stereo Link: Keep your stereo image perfectly stable by linking the gain reduction of both channels, or unlink them for a more spacious, natural sound.
• Variable Time Constants: Authentically modeled attack and release curves that adapt to the program material.
• Tube Saturation Stage: Pushing the gain doesn't just increase volume, it organically drives the virtual tubes for rich harmonic distortion.
• VU Photorealistic Metering: Independent, highly accurate GR (Gain Reduction) meters for both channels.

Compatibility: Windows (64-bit) VST3. Compatible with FL Studio, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, Logic Pro, Cubase, etc.
