What Techivation AI-Compressor is
Techivation AI-Compressor is a paid dynamics processor for macOS and Windows. It lets users set gain reduction directly to increase loudness while preserving transients and tonal balance. A Learn button captures four seconds of audio and adapts the algorithm to the input. Controls include Gain Reduction, Mix for parallel compression, a Diff button, output control, and input-output meters. An optional Perceptual Filter applies perceptual weighting across the frequency spectrum. Techivation says the plug-in uses a time-domain algorithm, adds no harmonics, and avoids aliasing without oversampling. Its lookahead algorithm introduces 75 ms of latency. AI-Compressor is available as VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plug-ins, and Techivation says its plug-ins work with any major DAW. The 14-day trial has no feature or audio-export limits; premium features stop working afterward. A license costs 129.00 USD once, has no expiry, activates on two computers simultaneously, and permits offline use after first online activation.
