With the Adaptive Compression, the result is an average compression, with natural dynamics and the so wanted glue to keep physical dynamics and the mix together. This allows you to shape the length of the transient while controlling peak levels. With the Punch control, you have full control over the transients levels during the attack stage. It is an excellent compressor for mastering and on induvial tracks/groups and sounds great on vocals. For a more technology savvy person end experienced mixed the UI is quite handy. When you do not have a mixing or mastering background, the UI looks complicated to you, and you need to invest time to learn how to use it.

The interface is slightly busy and complicated. For ease of use approach, it should be more straightforward and even less feature & tech-driven. There are some presets included, and you can add your own. Some users did report a higher CPU usage, which I did not see at all on my system. Also, you can use filter functions to manage band-pass and side-chain. You can easily compare those compressions with a dry/wet control that if not all compressor comes with. This feature is aiming to maintain an average natural sounding compression consistently result in a score. With the punch feature, you have control over the transients’ levels during the attack stage and can shape the transients’ lengths while preserving peak levels. Sound Radix also introduces what it called Adaptive Compression. To be honest, I have a hard time to hear the promised color of plugins that are modeled after vintage devices. You find hardware based modeling in so many other plugins. The reason is that in their thinking process they want to design cutting-edge plugins to help you to be successful, also using technology that was not possible to develop in hardware. While other compressor tents to emulate hardware (which is nevertheless a right approach) the plugin developer has taken a step back and come up with a new innovative and great working way. The compressor includes gain detection also reduction engine, which helps you to apply fast gain changes and reducing artifacts like distortion with the adaptive response algorithm included which react on the source material. In a nutshell, loudness management is important to ensure that your music sounds the best where ever it is distributed and played by the end user. Loudness management is used to ensure that the listener has an enjoyable experience while listening to music on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, TV, and big screen.

The leveler is an ITU-R BS.1770-4 (Loudness, K-weighted, relative to full scale) compliant. The plugin can be installed on Mac & PC supporting VST2/3, AAX and Audio Units.
