Your vm comp Black Friday deal is Pulsar Audio's VM-COMP tube compressor plugin at $49, which is 67% off, with the offer ending Dec 7, 2026.
Pulsar says VM-COMP is the most faithful emulation of a modern, legendary tube compressor/limiter, aimed at glue on mixes and masters. It is a stereo compressor that runs in Left/Right or Mid/Side mode.
The maker built it for mixing and mastering, but says it is flexible enough for tracking too. Use it for levelling, limiting, or just to add some analog warmth through the emulated tube signal path.
The maker's answer is Topology Preservation Technology. Pulsar says it makes VM-COMP sound objectively identical to the hardware in every production context.
It also adds things the original unit never had. You get a visual sidechain EQ editor and extended timing ranges.
The SIFAM metering of the original is reproduced. A second, more modern view shows the waveform and gain reduction both over time and instantaneously.
The sidechain EQ goes past the high-pass filter that was a popular mod on the hardware. Four knobs shape how the compressor responds to bass, midrange and treble.
You can also edit the curve directly on screen. An external sidechain input is included.
Look-ahead and look-behind let you advance or delay the sidechain signal. The compressor can start reacting before a transient arrives, or after it.
Faster attacks and releases than the hardware allows are there too. Pulsar says they give a more aggressive, mid-forward timbre the original cannot reach.
Pulsar describes the sound as transparent with a touch of warmth. It says transients are handled softly even at extreme settings, unlike a FET or VCA compressor.
