HOFA-Plugins HOFA IQ-Comp v2.0.2-R2R

Everyone who is longing for a new way* and simply the best compression for vocals, drums, bass and mastering won't be able to avoid this plugin.

We equipped a compressor with intelligence to achieve perfect results for all sorts of audio material. No matter if vocals, drums or other instruments: The HOFA IQ-Comp permanently adjusts all the relevant settings to fit the musical needs. Therefore it delivers the sonically best compression, depending on your settings.

*Beyond all that, this is the world's only compressor that is able to link the gain reduction with the integrated equalizer if needed.
This feature allows you to boost e.g. the bass frequencies of the singer at the loudest parts and allows you to use completely new EQ variants depending on the compressors gain reduction e.g. while compressing drums.

Intelligent compression & totally new options:
HOFA IQ-Comp: The Make-It-Better-Compressor makes your music sound better.

The features:

compressor with supremely intelligent/adaptive attack-, release- und ratio-settings
simple handling, concise representation
optimized for maximum compression with minimal artifacts (in your face & classic 80's British console buss compressor sound)
mono, stereo, dual mono, MS (Lat Vert) operation modes, sidechaining and parallel-compression
innovative link-up of gain reduction with the two onboard EQs
allows precise equalisation according to the compressor's gain reduction
arbitrary shelving and peak filters can be used on the new high quality EQ
EQ look ahead function for maximum transient punch
innovative level & frequency reduction display for ideal optical control
changeable plugin window size
"set as default" preset

The HOFA IQ-Comp provides for:

a very dense vocal- and drum sound without technical artifacts
simple realisation of "warm", "colourful" or simply novel and experimental compression sounds
stable drum sounds even when played very dynamically
"triggered EQ" when mixing real drums:
e.g. while processing the snare track the hihat remains gentle even if a lot of high frequencies are added
subtle to heavy dynamic processing, if necessary linked with precise to radical EQing
many innovative and accurate intervention options during mastering by use of CompLinkEqs in conjunction with MS processing, parallel compression, look ahead ...
