Bertom Audio Vocal Compressor v1.0 WiN macOS LiNUX [FREE]

Bertom Audio Vocal Compressor is a free dynamics effect designed for spoken and sung vocals. It is aimed at home producers, singers and anyone working with voice recordings who wants a straightforward way to control level changes without a complicated compressor setup.

Its design borrows ideas from mastering limiters, combining roughly 1 ms of lookahead with program-dependent behaviour. That means its response is influenced by the incoming audio rather than remaining entirely fixed. These principles are applied to soft-knee compression, where gain reduction comes in gradually around the threshold instead of switching abruptly into stronger control.

The HF Sens control adjusts how sensitive the compressor’s sidechain is to high frequencies. This lets you tailor how much brighter parts of a vocal influence the compression response; it is a detector adjustment rather than a conventional tone control.

For producers shaping a lead vocal or evening out a spoken recording, Vocal Compressor offers a focused approach to voice dynamics. The listed Windows download is 22 MB; check plugin-format compatibility with your DAW before installing.
