Everything That’s New in smart:comp 3

December 10, 2025 | News

Discover all the new features of our spectro-dynamic compressor. Our latest advances in technology have enabled workflows that are far more intuitive and efficient than ever before.

smart:comp 3 is a major update packed with brand-new features alongside the strengths of smart:comp 2. While spectral compression and ducking remain essential elements of the plug-in, we have combined intelligent analysis with a completely new, semantic approach to dynamic control as well as inter-plugin communication. On top of that, we have overhauled both the processing and the interface to make our compressor even better.

New key features in smart:comp 3

  • Compression Matrix: Displays a range of compressor settings and allows smooth transitions between different compression characters.
  • Compression Scope: Visualizes the viable compression range of the analyzed signal.
  • Group Mode: Links multiple plug-in instances for shared control of threshold, ratio, attack, release, and mix. Enables batch adjustments from a single interface.
  • Zero-latency Mode: Minimum-phase processing for live use and recording with no delay. Linear- phase mode remains available for mixing and post-production.
  • Refined Input Riding: Stabilizes level variations prior to compression.
  • Enhanced Style Control: Updated compression engines with defined attack and release behavior and refined saturation characteristics.
