THE IDEA BEHIND COMPRESS

One move. A different feel.

A groove feels better when its hits belong together. Compress is built for that moment: bring forward the body, tame the peaks and make a performance feel more connected. Its one control coordinates the compression while automatic level compensation keeps the workflow immediate.

PUT IT TO WORK

Where it fits

Drums, bass, vocals and instrument buses with uneven peaks.

FIRST LISTEN

Start here

Raise the knob until the performance feels more settled. Listen to the initial hit as well as the sustain, and back down if the source loses too much movement.

HEAR SHARK COMPRESS

Before & after

Hear the same musical passage with and without Shark Compress. Recordings are on the way.

GET TO KNOW COMPRESS

Frequently asked questions

Is this a model of a particular hardware compressor?

No. It is an original FET-inspired design, with its controls coordinated for a one-knob workflow.

Does it work on quieter recordings?

The threshold follows recent input peaks, helping the knob remain useful across different recording levels.

Does more compression simply mean more volume?

The main change is dynamic control. Automatic level compensation helps restore level as compression increases.

What does the reduction indicator show?

It shows the gain reduction currently being applied by the compressor.

Are there attack and release menus?

No. The compressor manages those settings underneath the main control.

When can I download Shark Compress?

Release details, pricing and supported formats will be announced when the plugin is ready.
