Sonible smart:comp 3

Intelligent Compressor Plugin

Compression Shaped By Intention

smart:comp 3 is designed to support your creative intention.

This audio compressor plug-in uses intelligent algorithms to translate your signal into an intuitive map of viable compression characteristics.

You achieve transparent, musical results faster while keeping your workflow smooth and focused.

For granular dynamics shaping, smart:comp 3 provides all common compression controls, advanced Style options, and Spectral Compression.

Intelligent parametrization & Spectral Compression
Semantic approach to dynamic control
Group Mode, zero-latency compression, Spectral Ducking, and more

Your Track Knows the Way, Smart:Comp 3 Maps It

Audio compression powered by AI and a semantic approach.

Compression is crucial to the vibe of a song, but most plug-ins offer plain numbers and parameters that feel disconnected from real sonic results.

smart:comp 3 takes a different approach: in its dedicated Compression Matrix, AI-powered analysis and automatic parametrization map an entire spectrum of musically viable compression settings based on the characteristics of your audio material.

By highlighting how far your signal can be dynamically shaped, it lets you explore your track's potential without the usual trial and error.

Smarter Control of Complex Sessions

Joint control of up to 7 tracks with inter-plugin communication.

Accelerate complex mix workflows and ensure consistent compression across multiple tracks with smart:comp 3's Group Mode.

Forget about jumping from instance to instance to tighten drum channels or align the compression of different vocal tracks.

smart:comp 3 lets you work on up to 7 tracks simultaneously from a single window.

All grouped instances appear in the Compression Matrix and the signal history, where you can batch-edit threshold, ratio, attack, release, and mix.

Managing large sessions and improving overall cohesion has never been easier.

Shape Your Compression Down to the Smallest Detail

Styles, Input Riding, zero-latency mode and spectral processing.

Aside from all common compression controls, smart:comp 3 also comes with the Advanced Tabs that provide you with a range of features for fine-tuning and sonic flexibility.

The intelligent compressor offers three Style options - Clean, Smooth and Aggressive - that give you immediate access to well-calibrated compression engines tailored to different creative and technical contexts.

An additional, fully tweakable Custom style enables complete control over attack/release shapes and saturation behavior.

Our unique technologies Spectral Compression and Spectral Ducking are staples in our intelligent compressor.

They make sure that additional compression or ducking only is applied where it is actually needed to maintain natural dynamics and energy in your mix.

smart:comp 3 also offers refined Input Riding, Minimum Phase Mode for zero-latency performance, Mid-Side Mode, and much more.
