smart:comp 2’s AI-powered automatic parametrization, spectral compression, and sidechain ducking abilities aim for one goal: clean, well-balanced compression results that remain true to your input signal – no matter whether you are working on single instruments, instrument busses or entire mixes. By analyzing the characteristics of your material, its intelligent processing will enhance transparency and preserve crucial details without compromising the integrity of the signal. Supported by such a sound base you can go ahead and let your creativity flow.

This exceptionally versatile compressor is packed with features that enable you to give any track your unique vibe. Gradually shape the character of the compressor with the style dial and give your results a darker or brighter vibe using the color dial. The free-form transfer function with its templates allows you to achieve sophisticated level mapping.

Working with smart:comp 2 is straightforward and intuitive. All crucial compression parameters take center stage – their handling will feel as familiar as working with a common single band compressor. With input level riding you can focus directly on shaping the dynamics of your track instead of worrying about level issues. smart:comp 2 provides you with real-time monitoring elements such as instant impact prediction which immediately reflects every parameter change across the entire signal, compression mapping and a RMS level histogram that outlines the overall dynamics of a track.
