Introduction
Welcome to Impress, a wideband stereo compressor including side-chain and various pre-
filter options. The goal of the design was to cover a broad range of compression applications
in today's mixing and mastering situations with strong focus on
low aliasing
.
So, Impress could be used to shape subtle a snare sound, glue different tracks on instrument
bus and even do complex tasks like deessing or voice over's.
All Impress parameters are easy to read and control. Additionally Impress gives visual
feedback to make musical decisions right.
