Voxengo Polysquasher for Windows 10 - Full description
Voxengo Polysquasher is a mastering compressor plug-in for audio production and sound engineering workflows. It is intended for engineers who want to control overall mix dynamics while retaining the character and detail of the original material. Its compression design centers on a small set of controls, making threshold and ratio the main adjustments for setting how strongly a mix is compressed. It is commonly used near the end of a mastering chain, before a final limiter, to make a track feel more consistent and cohesive without relying on extensive parameter tweaking.
A real-time gain-reduction graph shows how compression responds as audio plays, helping engineers judge whether a setting is working consistently across a mix. Six built-in compressor modes provide different starting behaviors, while the mode editor opens more advanced settings for creating and saving custom modes. This lets users begin with a ready-made response or tailor the compressor's behavior for a particular source or mastering preference. A variable-knee approach supports changes in how compression transitions around the threshold.
The plug-in supports stereo and multichannel processing, with internal channel routing and channel grouping for managing how signals are handled. Mid/side processing allows separate work on the center and side information of a stereo mix. Oversampling can be set as high as 8x, and the signal path uses 64-bit floating-point processing. These options provide additional control for sessions where channel structure, stereo image, or processing quality needs closer attention. Polysquasher supports all sample rates and has compensated processing latency of 22 ms.
Preset management helps organize and recall settings, while undo and redo history makes it easier to compare adjustments during a session. A/B comparison provides a direct way to check a processed signal against an alternate setting. The interface can be resized and its color scheme changed; contextual hints offer brief explanations of controls while working. These features suit repeatable mastering tasks as well as experimentation with custom compressor modes.
Polysquasher is aimed at mastering engineers, producers, and other users of professional audio applications who need a finishing compressor for stereo or multichannel mixes. It is a demo plug-in and is offered for Windows 10 and Windows 11; the plug-in formats include VST, with AU also available in supported environments. It is designed to run inside a compatible audio host rather than as a standalone audio editor.
