Vocal Compressor Black Friday pricing from W. A. Production is 60% off, bringing this 3-stage compression plugin to $15.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
It's a vocal compression plugin that runs your audio through three different compressors in one chain. The maker says the chain is transparent and balanced, with a little colour and grit added so the vocal sits in the mix.
The three stages are Peaks, Balance and Flavour. Gate and Colour controls, parallel compression options and a Master Mix dial sit around them.
The maker says it suits vocals best but also works on synths, bass, leads and other audio.
Peaks comes first. It clamps amplitude spikes so the signal sounds smoother, and the maker says you only need to pull the threshold down a few dB to hear it working.
Balance is a parallel compressor. It leaves loud transients intact and lifts the softer parts, which narrows the dynamic range. The Mix and Makeup dials blend the lightly compressed Peaks output with the heavily compressed Balance output. This stage needs a threshold of around 20dB, so keep pushing it down until it sounds right.
Flavour has a tape saturation curve built in, adding harmonics and grit. The maker suggests starting subtle, then adjusting the threshold until the vocal's bite rides over the track.
The maker lists these features:
The maker describes the plugin as responsive and CPU friendly.
