7-day trialNotes
A one-knob drum-bus compressor for anyone recording drums, and for lo-fi and indie producers. It pumps like a cheap nineties rack box, and it hisses in the gaps.
The old box's sound was two faults working together: a release that breathes back at a steady rate after every hit, and make-up gain that lifts the noise floor with the drums. Stoor keeps both, and fixes the slow attack that swallowed the hits.

Questions
Why is there hiss?
On purpose: it's half the sound. The hiss comes up with Squeeze, the way it did on the box, and swells in the gaps. Even at 0, where nothing is compressed, the hiss is there.
Can I key it from the kick?
No. There's no sidechain input; the drums key themselves.
Does it get louder as I turn it up?
No. It learns the bus's level and holds the loudness as Squeeze goes up.
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.
