Soundevice Digital has released the Royal Compressor XT, a dual-compressor audio plug-in that supports VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats. The software features signal splitting capabilities for complex audio routing.
Why it matters
The plugin provides producers with advanced dynamic control by allowing independent parameter adjustments across two distinct compressor units. Users can now access high-fidelity signal processing with specialized modes for stereo, mid-side, and frequency-split applications.
The plugin offers a maximum oversampling rate of 16x and features specific attack times of 70ms for model A and 17ms for model C. It is available for €15 during the introductory period before rising to €69.
