What it does

Squash is the multiband squeeze from our effect rack as a small plugin of its own, free to use. Want the spectrum under the bands and the thresholds to drag? That’s Overkill, its bigger sibling.

Down and up at once

Loud parts are pushed down, quiet detail is pulled up, in the lows, the mids and the highs separately.

One knob for how much

Depth sets how hard, from untouched to wall of sound. Time, Upward and Downward fine-tune it.

See it work

Each band shows a glowing column for how far it's being pushed down or pulled up right now. Drag the band lines and the splits on the display.

Light on the CPU

No latency, and it rests while silence comes in.
