• 64-bit multi-rate processing for high accuracy
• "Delta" oversampled signal path with bit transparency at 0dB gain reduction
• Fast, natural-sounding compression
• "Crest factor" based control scheme with independent release controls for peak and RMS content
• Flexible sidechain highpass filter
• Advanced stereo linking options optimized for stereo bus
• Delta preview mode to hear differences between compressed and original signal
• Latency compensated, click-free bypass

Additional Information

TDR Kotelnikov is a purely digital design, not an emulation of any hardware compressor. There is also a "Gentleman's Edition" with added features like support for equal loudness workflows and frequency-dependent ratio. The plugin supports multiple formats including VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX, and runs on Windows 7 (and above) and Mac OS X 10.9 (and above) with OpenGL support.

Target Users

The plugin is suitable for audio engineers and mastering professionals looking for a transparent compressor that maintains the punch and character of the original audio while allowing precise dynamic control.
