The step before your compressor.

Per-band dynamics your broadband compressor can't reach. SETTLE for bus glue, TIGHT for transients, DRIFT to lift detail. 40 ERB bands, no phase artifacts.

Three ways to compress.

  • Cohesion for the mix bus. Gentle per-band gain reduction that settles elements together without you hearing it work. The frequency-aware layer before your regular bus compressor.
  • Transient control on drums, bass, and percussion. Fast attack with per-band release that catches stray peaks your broadband compressor would average away.
  • Detail recovery. Upward per-band compression that lifts room tone, sustain tails, and high-frequency air without pumping up low-frequency mud. No broadband compressor can do this.

What makes PUSH different.

01 / Three characters, one per workflow

  • SETTLE glues the bus, TIGHT holds transients, DRIFT lifts quiet detail. different gain computer, timing, and coloring per character. they sound different, not just look different.

02 / 40 ERB frequency bands

  • Dynamics mapped to the same critical bands your ear resolves. not four arbitrary crossover points. 40 perceptually spaced bands following how you actually hear.

03 /  Magnitude-only processing

  • Gain is applied to magnitude only. Phase stays untouched. No smearing, no comb filtering, no crossover artifacts.

04 / Upward compression per band

  • DRIFT lifts ambience, room tone, sustain tails, and high-frequency air without pumping up low-frequency mud. Upward compression per band, not a single broadband lift.
