"ZL Audio has released a freeware compressor plugin called ZL Compressor, available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

We’ve already covered ZL Equalizer, a powerful dynamic EQ plugin from the same developer, so it’s interesting to see what they came up with in the realm of compressors."

"This provides lots of possibilities for sound shaping with frequency-specific compression. Make the plugin react more or less to certain parts of your sound without introducing unnecessary artifacts."
