Rivet: Free FET Compressor Plugin by GANUE Audio
Rivet is a free FET compressor plugin from GANUE Audio with an input-driven design and no threshold knob. Push the signal into the compressor with the Input control, then compensate with Output; compression increases as the input level rises.
How Rivet Works
- Input drives the signal into the FET circuit
- Output compensates for gain reduction
- Mix blends dry and compressed signals for parallel compression
- HPF filters the sidechain to reduce low-end pumping
