Sonic Academy SA76 v1.0.0 WiN [MOCHA]

Sonic Academy SA76 is an 1176-style compressor plugin for Windows, built for producers who want fast dynamics control, punch, and added sustain. It suits home studio musicians shaping drums, bass, vocals, and other tracks that need more consistent levels or a denser sound.

The controls include Input, Output, Attack, and Release, with ratio settings of 4, 8, 12, and 20, plus ALL mode. Gain Linking adjusts the output as you change the input, reducing the need to rebalance levels manually. For parallel compression, the Mix control blends the compressed signal with the untreated audio directly inside the plugin.

SA76 also offers stereo width adjustment and a saturation stage for extra warmth and coloration. An external sidechain lets another signal drive the compression, while a high-pass filter on the sidechain provides more control over what triggers it.

Available in VST2, VST3, and AAX formats, SA76 fits compatible Windows setups, including FL Studio and Ableton Live. It combines familiar compressor controls with useful options for everyday mixing and more characterful processing.
