Polysquasher was designed with a main goal: to be transparent.  Transparent compression action is a cornerstone for any mastering compressor.  Transparency of audio signal processing is necessary to preserve all existing elements in the mix, while compression itself is necessary to make the mix sound uniform to other mixes (tracks) and to make it sound more solid and “glued”.

Polysquasher features:

  • Transparent compression sound
  • Real-time gain reduction graph
  • 8 built-in compressor modes
  • Compressor mode editor
  • Multi-channel processing
  • Internal channel routing
  • Channel grouping
  • Mid/side processing
  • Up to 8x linear-phase oversampling
  • 64-bit floating point processing
  • Preset manager
  • Undo/redo history
  • A/B comparisons
  • Contextual hint messages
  • 22 ms compensated processing latency

Polysquasher is available for purchase on-line for USD 79.95.  Demo version of Voxengo Polysquasher and other pro audio plug-ins can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/product/psquasher/
