RD-01 Studio Compressor plugin interface: stainless rack panel with knobs either side of a blue screen showing the VU meter and 3 dB of gain reduction

  • Compression

    Threshold, ratio, attack, release and knee control the compression curve and timing. Contour adjusts timing, knee and peak-to-RMS detection together. Smooth Peak detection holds the curve without bass ripple; Adaptive recovery provides programme-dependent release.

  • Saturation and tone

    A 4× oversampled Drive stage follows compression. Warmth adjusts saturation asymmetry; Air applies a high-frequency shelf. Drive Comp offsets the level change from Drive and adds a subtle boost to quieter material. Parallel Mix and output gain control the final balance.

  • Sidechain

    Internal or external detection with adjustable key gain and a high-pass filter up to 400 Hz at 6 or 12 dB/oct; Listen auditions the key. Stereo Link blends linked and independent channel detection; external keys remain linked.

  • Metering and workflow

    RMS VU metering, gain reduction, an editable transfer curve and waveform displays. A/B comparison, undo/redo, 26 factory presets and interface scaling from 75–200%.
