Audio engineers and music producers in search of a dynamics processor should check out the MIA Laboratories 409 Opto Compressor, a versatile software plug-in with a highly optimized dynamic response. The plug-in is based on the design and principles of analog Opto compressors, which are characterized by their natural and musical gain reduction. The 409 offers gentle, transparent compression to heavy, deep-cutting limiting, suitable for a wide range of applications.

With an attack and release range of 200 ms and 787 ms respectively, the 409 provides easy and precise tuning of the compressor's response. The variable ratio dial allows you to accurately tune the setting of the compression slope. Other features include side-chain filtering and monitoring, dry/wet mix, peak/RMS detection, stereo link, lookahead, and the latest developed parameters, Damping and Skew, which allow you to smooth and fine-tune the detector response. The 409 Opto Compressor is Windows and Mac compatible and works with most DAWs utilizing AAX, AU, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats.
