Sound Radix has released POWAIR, a radically smart compressor effect plugin for Windows and Mac.
Designed to be a smarter, more natural sounding compressor, POWAIR is a dual-stage loudness leveler/compressor/limiter powered by a novel, proprietary compression engine which provides greater transparency and control than ever before.
POWAIR’s compression engine allows for powerful dynamics shaping while maintaining the timbre of the source material, even when pushed to extremes. It enables greater control and transparency of the source’s perceived loudness and intensity and brings a sense of power to vocals, instruments and mixes.
With innovative features such as Punch and Adaptive Compression, POWAIR offers an extra level of control over transients, enabling you to uniquely shape your sound while fully retaining the dynamics of the original performance.
Additional features such as L/R and M/S processing with variable stereo-link, bandpass and bandstop side-chain filter, tempo-synced recovery time, side-chain input and analytic auto-makeup gain complete POWAIR’s comprehensive feature set.
