Voxengo has recently launched their latest universal compressor PC VST plug-in : Marquis. They have incorporated all the digital signal processing advancements that they have made so far into this compressor.
Marquis features in this software a unique signal level detection algorithm. It allows you to create a very open, punchy, tight and compressed sound, with an amazingly clear sound. On top of this, Marquis offers a classic feedback (opto) compression mode that will allow you to switch to a more common feed-forward compression. Both of these modes perform differently, but just as well.
Marquis works exceptionally well for brutal “tape” drum compression. Some of Marquis’ features are: variable knee design, harmonically enhanced sound, three compression behaviors, different coloration types, release contour controls, key signal filtering, 64 bit internal precision and native assembler DSP code.
Pros
- Sound selector for switching between the default “Phasy” mode to phase-linear processing
Cons
- Processing is interrupted with a short beep every 45 seconds
