Voxengo Polysquasher 3

Never ones to rush an update, Voxengo have released version three of their mastering compressor, and it comes eight years after v2, and a full 13 years after the initial release. In keeping with the very first version, the aim is for it to compress as transparently as possible. New for v3 is the redesigned compression algorithm and its associated parameters, with just Threshold and Ratio required to control it. However, you can pop open the Compressor Mode Editor to “create your own compressor modes that can be easily recalled”, making it good for instant results and for serious tweakers alike. A gain reduction graph lets you keep an eye on just how much Polysquashing is going down. It’s out now, priced $90, while upgrades from previous versions cost $40.
