            • GANUE Audio RivetRivet is a free, input-driven FET compressor. There is no threshold: you drive the signal into the compressor with INPUT and make it up with OUTPUT - the harder you push, the more it compresses. Character, by the input. What makes it versatile is REVISION: five selectable voicings, each modelled on a different generation of the classic FET compressor family with the Assay DSP Engine - real hardware measured, then rebuilt from scratch in original code. Not a sample, not a clone. THE FIVE REVISIONS A - Gritty and early. Odd-harmonic bite, softest and earliest ratios. AE - The most coloured. Rich, refined even-harmonic warmth. LN - Warm and smooth. Even-harmonic warmth, widest knees. F - Modern and tight. Clean at rest, hardest knees. H - Clean and neutral. The default reference voice. Features Five compressor revisions (A / AE / LN / F / H), saved with presets. Fixed ratios: ALL / 20 / 12 / 8 / 4 (AE: ALL / 20 / 8 / 4 / 2) - ALL is all-buttons-in. Fast reversed ATTACK / RELEASE (approx. 0.1-17 ms / 71-573 ms), shown as real time. DRIVE harmonic colour stage (oversampled, anti-aliased). GR LIMIT soft ceiling, all the way to AMP (0 dB - colour only, no reduction). Parallel MIX. Sidechain: HPF + 4-band detector EQ with adjustable Q, internal or external, detector solo. Look (detection): look-ahead / look-behind detector timing. Oversampling up to 8x, separate realtime and offline settings. Stereo modes: linked Stereo, Dual Mono, M/S. Analog-style GR VU, IN/GR/OUT bar meters, Comp Curve / GR History / SC EQ displays. Gain-reduction readout in Studio One's mixer (PreSonus host extension). UI scaling 100-200%. 31 factory presets across Vocal / Drums / Bass / Guitar / Bus / Master / FX / Sidechain. Formats Windows 10 or later (64-bit): VST3. macOS 11.0 or later: VST3 + AU (Universal - Apple Silicon and Intel). FREE MEANS FREE No license key, no iLok, no online activation, no locked features. Use it in personal and commercial productions. The full PDF manual is included in the download. Made by GANUE Audio. Read More

                        • Windows-G E-Gain100 (VST3)A Windows-only VST3 gain plugin. Features: * Gain (-100 dB to +45 dB): Zipper-noise-free gain control. * Dry/Wet (0% to 100%, hidden but automatable): Great for fade-in/fade-out automation. Automating the gain control itself can result in quick transitions; instead, you can set your desired gain (e.g., -30dB or +30dB) and then automate the Dry/Wet from 0% to 100% or from 100% to 0% for a gradual fade effect. Available for automation as "Dry/Wet" in the plugin's parameter list. * Mute: When the gain slider is set to -100 dB, the output is completely muted. This can be useful for creative effects. * GUI Bypass Button: A smooth bypass button for toggling the gain effect on or off without audio clicks or pops. Available for automation as "Bypass (Smooth)" in the plugin's parameter list. * Support for Retina/high-DPI screens. Right click anywhere on the plugin's GUI and choose from the "UI Zoom" options to increase the size of the plugin interface. * Double-click the gain slider to reset it to its default value. Hold Ctrl while clicking and dragging for fine slider increments. You can grab it for FREE. Email Support: info.windowsg@gmail.com Read More
