LSR Audio Announces WARMultipress Vintage Multiband Compressor Plugin
LSR Audio is a new plugin developer making their debut with WARMultipress. Like any other multi-band compressor, WARMultipress offers three bands (two cross-over points) of adjustable frequencies allowing separate compression settings to be applied to each band. What makes this plugin unique is the “warm” factor that beats within.
LSR Audio's WARMultipress in all its glory.
WARMultipress’s free beta is available to download now (create an account on the “downloads” page for access to the beta). The finished plugin will be available this Summer for both Mac and PC in VST and AU formats. Here is what LSR Audio has to say about their new plugin:

Visualise what you’re doing
What you see is what you hear
The large screen lets you see precisely what compression does to your music, in real time. You can visualize the signal received on each frequency band, the gain reduction applied by compressions and the resulting signal, after post gain stage.
Tube Warmth
Hot and Loud
WARMultipress has a hot tube in it’s core. It gives you the famous analog non-linearity that creates a warm and rich sound.
The amount of drive depends on the frequency, with higher frequencies more driven than the lower ones.
Classic audio tape color
Reel to reel magic
WARMultipress reproduces the unique subtle sound coloration of audio tapes that makes your digital music more natural and punchy.
WARMultipress mimics the classic Ampex® ATR 102 (15 IPS) frequency response.”
