Plugin Alliance Kiive Audio XTComp 1.0.2

Kiive Audio's XTComp is a versatile FET compression plugin available through the Plugin Alliance. It is designed to reproduce the sound of popular modern hardware compressors, offering a combination of speed, flexibility, and attitude. This plugin is particularly useful for tasks such as crushing drum buses, squeezing kicks and bass, and manipulating acoustic guitars, as well as acting as a vocal compressor.

Key Features

• Compression Modes: XTComp has separate ratios that act as separate compressors, each with its own attack, release, and knee characteristics. This allows users to emulate the sound of classic compressors such as the LA-2A and 1176.
• British Mode: This mode provides powerful “all-knobs” compression, reminiscent of classic British compressors. It's ideal for achieving a dense, energetic sound on drums, vocals, and other tracks.
• Saturation Module: The plugin includes an analog-modeled saturation circuit that can add tape-like overtones and warmth to recordings. This feature helps soften harsh sounds and can be used creatively to distort drums, guitars, and basslines.
• Sidechain Filters: XTComp offers sidechain filter options to remove low-frequency rumble, providing detailed and smooth compression.
• Digital Features: The plugin includes dual mixer knobs for parallel processing and a Gain Link switch for A/B matching of levels, providing more control than traditional hardware compressors.
