: If you are working in a multi-channel or surround mode, holding the Alt key while adjusting a knob will link that change across all channel groups.
: Use the "A > B" button to copy your current settings to an alternate slot, then tweak a single parameter (like coloration style) and use the A/B toggle to hear the difference instantly. Voxengo Crunchessor [WiN]
: It features a parallel valve warming module that simulates the rich harmonics of analog hardware. For a cleaner sound, this and the coloration can be disabled entirely. : If you are working in a multi-channel
: You can precisely filter the side-chain (key) signal using a built-in Key Filter Editor . This allows the compressor to ignore certain frequencies (like a kick drum's low end) or react specifically to others (like vocal sibilance), effectively acting as a de-esser or targeted bus compressor. For a cleaner sound, this and the coloration
: Crunchessor supports internal channel routing and grouping, allowing for complex multi-channel or Mid/Side (M/S) processing within a single instance. Advanced Operational Tips
: It supports up to 8x oversampling , which is critical for maintaining high-end clarity when using heavy saturation or fast attack settings that might otherwise cause aliasing.
: Unlike many compressors that only provide clean gain reduction, Crunchessor includes several switchable coloration modes. These styles add harmonic saturation and frequency-dependent character, making it useful for creative "vibey" compression rather than just technical leveling.
