Analog Obsession SPECOMP v1.1 is a free spectral compressor built around a heavily modified S-Type console compressor design. It combines overall signal compression with frequency-dependent processing to control dynamics across the sound’s frequency range. For hobby producers looking to bring a mix together, it offers a straightforward way to explore compression beyond basic level control.
The interface keeps familiar compressor settings within reach, while a meter displays both overall gain reduction and frequency compression. Oversampling is switched on by clicking the Analog Obsession logo; the logo turns red and a notification confirms that it is active.
Version 1.1 adds a MIX control, located at the meter’s screw with the red pointer, and extends the ratio setting down to 1:1. SPECOMP is available in VST and VST3 formats for Windows, making it suitable for compatible versions of FL Studio and Ableton Live. Mac versions also include AU support for hosts such as Logic Pro. The listed operating systems are Windows 7, 8 and 10, and macOS 10.9 through 11.x.
