Hi, I hope I will be able to make AU (and VST for Mac) version soon.

Ok, I understand and thank you:) Regarding Dynamic II – I think the RMS size for dynamic autogain compensation could be a variable parameter – that would allow to use it even as second RMS compression with its shorter settings and maybe it would have some interesting use/results.

Hi Martin! Don’t worry, you have nothing to feel bad for, and in the end it’s your baby, so any decision is yours alone. Feedback is indeed most important, in another life I dabbled in programming (nothing audio/DSP related, unfortunately) and have/had friends in the game.
The compressor output, both commercial and free, has been thriving in the last few months (hence my “Another one? Srsly?” joke, part of a running gag I entertain in the comment section of BPB). I’ve always been grateful to freeware releases, my only interest is to help, albeit modestly, to promote them and sometimes make them better. I only want people to have access to great tools and not only in the audio world.
Had the opportunity to test it since, so I can now say… I like it! There’s still lots to experiment with, but my interest was piqued by the Crush and Clip sections, because while I’m still learning how to best use compressors, I looove distortion effects. And they’re very interesting in themselves, and great in a compressor chain. So, for a v1.0.0, it’s a definitive win from me!
As for GUI, which is always all in the eye of the beholder, I made it clear that I’m not a skeuo-fanboy, but with better contrast and perhaps a more unified knob style I might like it even better? Hey my eyes aren’t getting younger, you know… ;D Do what you think is best, always.
Seasons greetings, best of luck, and thank you for Sonicrusher.
mrg, tongue-in-cheek mild-criticizing freeware-loving crappy-composing random dude on teh interweb.
PS: Before I forget, perhaps a Dynamic II level for the Autogain section with a shorter RMS windows? (oh my, i’m complaining again, I can’t stop myself, bad, bad mrg, tsk tsk)
tl;dr: YAY! \o/

For people like me who have no income with commercial musicproduction it’s essential to have pluginsproducer like Linda, Analog Obsession et al.

I use also softube, Brainworx,Cherry Audio and Arturia. Good stuff and sometimes expensive. Whne spotify and Co. are wanting to donate me customers I will be able to pay a small gift to non-commercials like You and will do it.

Your Comp reminds me a little on a silver comp from Focusrite, beautify with its bassexpander. The best is Your cruncher, which is not often in a comp. Cause nearly every other comp has a dito or saturator, it’s a new think I am very glad.

Hi, thank you for constructive hints:) I agree that gui could be more polished fof sure. But I do this all by myself and I am programmer, musician and mixing engineer but not an artist or ux designer. I wanted to release this plugin commercially in cooperation with some bigger company at first (as I did with my previous plugins Linda RockStack and Linda Ironverb), but I found no interest anywhere for just to try another compressor. Despite that I believe that sonically and feature-wise this is very good tool even on par with best commercial software compressors and I use it regullary with success in my production. So at the end I decided to release Sonicrusher with this gui for free with option to donate for its future development (there is a paypal link at my blog) I hope its qualities at least could make my brand known and hopefully it help me to gain some resources to buy a good ui designer. And I have some ideas which would make it even better. So, anyway thank you for you interest and I will be glad for any next criticism or any other openion, because feedback is now the most valuable thing for me:)
