Audified ToneKnob Compressor Plug-In

Effortless Studio Compression with a Single Knob
The Audified ToneKnob Compressor brings professional-grade tube compression into a simple, intuitive plug-in designed for musicians, producers, and engineers of all levels. Inspired by the legendary German Telefunken U73b tube compressor, this streamlined tool captures the warmth, saturation, and precision of high-end analog hardware while making compression effortless. Whether you need subtle dynamic control or aggressive punch, the ToneKnob Compressor allows you to achieve a polished, professional sound with just one control.

Vintage Tube Compression with Modern Simplicity
Built with Audified’s expertise in analog emulation, this plug-in distills the essential character of the U73b into a compact and easy-to-use format. The single-knob interface dynamically adjusts compression settings, including ratio, attack, and release, ensuring that every tweak enhances your audio. Instead of spending time dialing in complex parameters, you can focus on finding the perfect sound instantly.

Soft and Smooth Compression for Natural Dynamics
For a more relaxed and musical feel, ToneKnob Compressor provides soft and slow compression that preserves the natural character of your tracks. It enhances bass grooves, controls vocal dynamics, and improves the sustain of guitars without making them sound over-processed. This setting is ideal for creating smooth, warm, and cohesive mixes while retaining the expressive qualities of each performance.

Fast and Aggressive Compression for Punch and Impact
Turning the knob further tightens and intensifies the compression, increasing the speed and aggression of the effect. This setting is perfect for adding punch to kick drums and snares, controlling chugging guitar rhythms, and maintaining a solid low-end for bass tracks. With a responsive and musical feel, this compression style ensures your mix remains tight and energetic without losing clarity.

Glue Your Mix with Subtle Bus Compression
ToneKnob Compressor is an excellent choice for mix bus processing, providing just the right amount of compression to glue individual elements together. Whether applied to drum buses, vocal groups, or the entire master bus, this tool smooths out inconsistencies, enhances cohesion, and adds warmth without over-compressing the mix.

Authentic Tube Saturation for Rich Harmonic Character
In addition to dynamic control, the ToneKnob Compressor imparts smooth tube saturation that enhances tonal richness. The subtle harmonic coloration adds warmth to vocals, thickens basslines, and rounds out full mixes, making everything sound more polished and professional. Whether used lightly or pushed harder, this saturation effect brings analog warmth into any digital production.

Fine-Tune Compression with Built-In Calibration
Compression is highly dependent on the input signal, which is why ToneKnob Compressor includes a Calibration feature. Located in the service menu, this function allows users to fine-tune the compression response based on the specific needs of their track. By customizing the calibration settings, you can optimize the compressor’s behavior for different instruments and audio sources.
