DDFM LinComp

LinComp is a linear phase multiband compressor, a tool that belongs in every mastering chain. Multiband compression allows you to take care of the levels and response times of four frequency bands independently, and the linear phase crossover guarantee that all this happens with no damage done to the audio whatsoever. Independent threshold, attack, release, ratio and gain controls as well as master faders for simultaneous control let you sculpt the dynamics of your tracks in any way imaginable. Select the compression type by switching between hard and soft knee, use LinComp as a brickwall limiter with the built-in clipping function, and do A/B tests to find out the optimal setting. We still don’t know why we sell a high quality plugin like this for only $39, but well, we do, and you better buy it before we change our mind.

LinComp comes with an installer, in which you can select which plugin format(s) you want to install (VST, VST3, AU (Mac only) and AAX are the available options). On Windows, if you select the VST option, you will need to specify the location of your VST folder(s) (two of them, if you opt to install both the 32 and the 64 bit version). On Mac, the plugins automatically contain both the 32 and the 64 bit version, and the folders where they are installed are also fixed to their system-wide values, so you don't have to worry about anything here. After installation, DirectionalEQ should be available in your DAW's list of plugins. Occasionally, a rescan of your plugin folder might be necessary.
