DDMF has officially released OberComp, a new multiband audio plug-in designed to simplify complex compression tasks. The software utilizes phase-adjusted Linkwitz-Riley filters to manage audio across four distinct frequency bands.
Why it matters
Multiband compression is a staple of modern mixing, but it is often technically demanding for users to set up correctly. By automating internal parameters like attack and release, this tool makes sophisticated sound shaping more accessible.
The plug-in supports VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats on Windows 10, macOS 12, and Linux systems. It features four bands with a default look-ahead time of 2ms.

DDMF
DDMF is an audio software company that develops digital signal processing tools for music production and sound engineering.
The details
OberComp allows for manual crossover point adjustment and includes individual threshold, pre-compressor gain, and post-compressor gain controls for each band. Internal settings for knee, attack, and release times are automatically calculated based on the input signal.

Industry Dynamics
The emergence of automated multiband compressors like the industry-standard multiband compressor marks a transition away from tedious manual configuration. This release highlights a broader push among developers to balance advanced sonic control with accessible, time-saving interfaces.
Users can purchase and download the software immediately for $59 or £54. The plugin is compatible with most major digital audio workstations running on modern Windows, macOS, or Linux operating systems.
The takeaway
Automating attack and release times can help beginners achieve professional-sounding results without needing deep technical knowledge of compression dynamics. Producers should prioritize testing these tools within their existing signal chains to ensure the phase-adjusted filters complement their specific workflow.
