TBProAudio – Impress 3 (Windows)

Description

Wideband stereo compressor

Impress is a wideband stereo compressor that includes sidechain, various prefilter options and state-of-the-art oversampling. The goal of the development was to cover a wide range of compression applications in modern mixing and mastering situations with a strong emphasis on low aliasing. Thus, Impress can be used to give subtle shape to the sound of a ratchet, glue together different tracks on an instrument bus and even perform such complex tasks as de-essing or vocal overdubbing.
