Jon V Audio has released Firecomp 2, a peak compressor and limiter plugin available on a ‘Pay What You Want’ basis, even completely free. This clean and efficient tool is perfect for both individual tracks and full busses, delivering punchy transients, smooth dynamic control, and minimal CPU load.
Clean and Musical Compression
Firecomp 2 offers ultra-clean compression with a fast and punchy attack and a musical release curve. It’s designed to tame peaks while preserving the natural feel of your source material, making it a great choice for vocals, drums, and mix bus duties.
An optional lookahead mode smooths transients even further for precise peak control, especially useful in limiting scenarios. Users can opt for zero or low latency modes depending on the project requirements.
Cross-Platform and Future-Proof
Firecomp 2 is available in multiple formats, ensuring compatibility with nearly any system:
- 64-bit VST3 for Windows
- Intel/M1 64-bit VST3 for macOS (10.13+)
- Intel/M1 64-bit Audio Unit (AU2) for macOS (10.11+)
- Linux x64 version (testing only, not officially supported)
The plugin also includes free updates for all users.
Free Download
Firecomp 2 can be downloaded on a ‘Pay What You Want’ basis at the Jon V Audio website. Donations are welcome to support future development.
