u-he – Presswerk 1.1.5.12092 Rev2 VST, VST3, AAX, NKS x86 x64
u-he Presswerk is a powerful dynamic processor with a musical soul. The easy-to-use interface and rich feature set gives you hands-on control over every detail of your sound. Presswerk does not imitate well-known compressors, it combines the heat (as digital as possible) of classic hardware models.
The plugin includes the characteristics of classic compressors, and includes a large number of parameters and options for their use. Presswerk has several display modes that give you 3 classic devices to choose from, plus topology selection, pre- and post-suture stage control, and an Analog mode that allows you to recreate the phase response and transient behavior of classic equipment.
• Sidechaining: use ducking to create more space in your mixes, or get creative with keying and pumping effects.
NOTE: For help on how to get Presswerk sidechained in your DAW, please read these instructions compiled by our KVR forum members.
• Adjustable compression curve and envelope. Find the best settings, get the most out of your audio using the soft knee, compression ratio, attack and release and other controls.
• Loud. Oh yes, Presswerk is more than capable of making your tracks louder!
• Soft clip. Roll off those harsh peaks and avoid distortion when output levels get too high.
..plus what we added to enhance Presswerk’s capabilities:
• 6 special views for better workflow: Drum Compressor, Vocal Compressor, M/S Program Compressor, Easy Compressor, Bus Compressor, Limiter (see the screen shots above).
M/S mode. More detailed stereo signal processing
• Dual Phase Rotator (DPR): applies a radio broadcaster’s trick to reduce unwanted asymmetries in the signal. It smears phases, increases headroom a little and adds bass ‘oomph’.
• Saturation. This is where Presswerk really shines—adding colour and character to your audio. • Apply Saturation sparingly for subtle warmth and transient-taming, or crank it up to create tape overdrive-like effects.
• Internal parallel compression. The Mix controls let you blend the compressed and uncompressed signals. This helps preserve some of the original, natural dynamics.
• Variable detection topologies:
- Feed-forward is modern and ‘surgical’, it tracks the input very precisely.
- Feed-back is ‘musical’, loose-sounding and forgiving—like classic hardware.
- Interactive continuously analyzes the signal and blends FF and FB accordingly.
