Duplex Comp combines two serially cascading compressors, followed by a limiter, into one efficient package. This plugin streamlines a popular mixing method—employing multiple compressors in series, each with different settings—by consolidating the entire process into one convenient interface.
In the GUI, you’ll see the compressors are cleverly referred to as „Units,“ while the limiter is humorously named „Rent Control“—a playful nod to the plugin’s name, Duplex. (I know, I’m hilarious)
