TDR Kotelnikov is a free wideband compressor for producers who want to control dynamics without noticeably changing a track’s tonal character. It is particularly useful on stereo buses and in other situations where keeping the original punch and timbre matters. Rather than modelling analogue hardware, it takes a digital approach to transparent compression.

Separate release settings for peak and RMS content let you adjust how the compressor responds to brief transients and sustained energy. A sidechain high-pass filter helps keep low frequencies from dominating the compression response, while stereo linking options support bus processing. Delta preview lets you hear the difference between the processed and original signals, making it easier to judge what your settings are doing.

Kotelnikov also includes high-precision, 64-bit multi-rate processing, an oversampled delta signal path, and latency-compensated bypass for click-free comparisons. Three interface scaling options help fit the controls to your screen. For hobby producers working in Windows hosts such as FL Studio or Ableton Live, it is a practical choice for clean, carefully controlled bus compression.
