TBProAudio has launched a compressor effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

Impress is a wideband stereo compressor including side-chaining, various prefilter options and state-of-the-art over sampling.

The goal of the design was to cover a broad range of compression applications in today’s mixing and mastering situations with strong focus on low aliasing. So, Impress could be used to shape subtle a snare sound, glue different tracks on instrument bus and even do complex tasks like deessing or voice over’s.
