The XTT by VINAI Black Friday deal takes 60% off this 5-band compressor plugin from W. A. Production, down to $15.96 until Nov 29, 2026.
It was built with the Italian duo Alessandro and Andrea Vinai, who are signed to Spinnin' Records. The maker says the plugin grew out of years of testing processing chains on their own productions, and development ran over a year.
Audio runs through five bands: low, low-mid, mid, mid-high and high. Every crossover is adjustable, and each band gets its own threshold and make-up gain.
You drag thresholds and crossover points directly on the display while a real-time frequency analyser shows the result.
Each band also has an optional surgical section. You can solo or mute the band, set RMS, adjust attack and release, or tilt the mid/side information.
Upward and downward compression have independent controls and can run at the same time, up to 200%. The maker's example: balance vocal levels, or clamp drum transients while lifting the room ambience.
The VINAI brothers say gain staging is one of the most underrated parts of mixing. Their point is that a plugin can only work as intended if the level hitting it is right, and loud preset packs often feed the next plugin a signal that is already too hot.
XTT shows the input volume of the source so you can trim it. The Input and Output faders can be linked, so gain compensation moves together and the character of the sound is kept.
The maker describes the limiter as transparent, adding saturation without unwanted distortion, so you may not need a separate limiter after it. It also calls the plugin responsive and CPU friendly.
If you run an Apple Silicon Mac, the maker asks you to review the plugin's current compatibility status for your system before buying.
