HOFA Releases IQ-Comp V2

HOFA today released a new version of their IQ-Comp plug-in with lots of fixes, improvements and new features.

Here’s an overview of the changes:
– compressor with supremely intelligent/adaptive attack-, release- und ratio-settings
– new in V2 adaptive AUTO-mode
– new in V2 two compression modes, CALM & ROUGH
– simple handling, concise representation
– optimized for maximum compression with minimal artifacts
  (in your face & classic 80’s British console buss compressor sound)
– mono, stereo, dual mono, MS (Lat Vert) operation modes, sidechaining and parallel-compression
– new in V2 look-ahead for compression to catch transient
– innovative link-up of gain reduction with the two onboard EQs
– allows precise equalisation according to the compressor’s gain reduction
– arbitrary shelving and peak filters can be used on the FlavorEQs
– new in V2 Flavor presets for quick results in the most common applications
– EQ look ahead function for maximum transient punch
– new in V2 sidechain filter for controlled compression without pumping
– innovative level & frequency reduction display for ideal optical control
– changeable plugin window size
– “set as default” preset

The HOFA IQ-Comp provides for:
– a dense vocal- and drum sound without technical artifacts
– simple realisation of “warm”, “colourful” or simply novel compression sounds
new in V2 stable and transient rich drum sounds even when played very dynamically
– “triggered EQ” when mixing real drums:
  e.g. while processing the snare track the hihat remains gentle even if a lot of high frequencies are added
– subtle to heavy dynamic processing, if necessary linked with precise to radical EQing
– many innovative and accurate intervention options during mastering by use of CompLinkEqs in conjunction with MS processing, parallel compression, look ahead …
new in V2 ahead compression combined with oversampled clipping for high loudness when mastering rock and pop
new in V2 controlled compression without pumping due to two sidechain filters
