Mastering Compressor v1.2.0.0 macOS-RET
Team RET | 18 Jan 2024 | 4.0 MB
The Sonoris Mastering Compressor (SMCP) is a wideband mastering compressor in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS format for Windows and Mac. It is an ultra clean compressor suitable for delicate material. No odd harmonic distortion that can be found in most compressors is present in the SMCP. To reduce residual artifacts the SMCP features upsampling of the audio up to 8 times. Transparency can be further enhanced by selecting auto-release and feedback detection together with two soft knees.
If a more aggressive behavior is needed you can for example choose feedforward detection with a harder knee. It can have some “character” if pushed. If needed, the audio can be warmed up with even harmonics with the flip of a switch.
Besides working on a full mix, the SMCP can also work in split mode on the individual L,R, M or S channels or anything in between, with the variable link. The sidechain for each channel has a selectable high-pass, band-pass and low-pass filter. This gives great flexibility and allows for creative enhancement of the audio.

Our Sonoris releases between 2015 and 2018 have timebomb issue.
Protection changes in 2015 :
* Serial Number check after longer usage
* RSA public key modification check
Once it bombs, it stops processing audio.
We fixed in these new releases. However, if your computer have old license,
it still cause timebomb as a result. Read included text carefully and re-
register all plugins with our latest releases.
We are very sorry we haven’t noticed this issue for a long time
