7-day trialNotes
A one-knob bass compressor for bassists recording at home. It evens out the notes and adds a little weight, without pumping and without getting louder as you turn it up.
Its release follows the note being played: a low E gets a long release, a higher note a shorter one, so held notes don't buzz and fast runs don't pile up.

Use it on
- A bass line where the low E booms and the G on the D string vanishes.
- Fast fills that come out quieter than the held notes around them.
- A bass that needs to sit under the kick without pumping against it.
System requirements
- Formats: VST3, CLAP, LV2 and Standalone on every system; AU on macOS too.
- Windows: 64-bit (x64). Installer, or a zip to install by hand.
- macOS: 11 (Big Sur) or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. A signed, notarised installer, or a zip to install by hand.
- Linux: x64. A zip.
- Mono and stereo tracks.
- 6 ms of latency. That's its look-ahead, which catches the pick before you hear it. It's reported to your DAW and is the same when bypassed or after the trial.
Questions
What does Weight do?
It drives the bass harder into a fixed threshold and brings the output down by the same amount. Turning it up makes the bass more even, then heavier, then grunting, without getting louder.
Why no attack and release?
Doup sets them from the pitch of each note. The attack is one cycle long and the release about six. A re-plucked note resets it.
Does it level-match on my bass?
Yes. It learns the part's level as you play, holds the loudness as Weight turns, and keeps that with the session.
What happens when the trial ends?
The plugin stays in your sessions and passes audio through untouched until you activate it. It never goes silent, and your projects still open.
Is it in a bundle?
Yes. It's also in the Compressor Bundle, all five for $25.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Email support@oddduckaudio.com within 14 days of buying it, from the address you bought with, for a full refund.
