jsCompShaper is a morphing soft-knee / waveshaping compressor.
It has the ability to morph between soft-knee compression and waveshaping as desired.
Furthermore, it provides pre-/post-emphasis filtering (similar to a side-chain filter) and a analog-like attack.

More than a decade ago, but still one of the best plugin compressors around (freeware or commercial). I think it's the set of features that makes jsCompShaper so special. It's basically a flexible compressor with pre-emphasis (to determine which parts of the frequency spectrum are affected more by compression and a an additional clipper (waveshaper) with flexible transfer curve (from hard to soft). With those features you can almost solve any compression duty you can imagine! Shoutouts to the developer, he created a sustainable product that 10 years later can still compete with the best!

Going on 11 years now and this plug-in still puts to shame most paid for compressor plug-ins. You can emulate most types of analog and digital compressors with just this plug-in (not all of them, but most), so the fact that this is a free plug-in from 2011 is just mind boggling. The only things it's missing for it to be an absolute OP plug-in would be external side-chain, lookahead and some sort of program-dependent/auto release. I'm still rating it 5-stars though because it has everything you need to get a great sound!

One of the best free compressors I have ever come across. I think it can compete with many paid. Very well emphasizes the rhythm (I would even say raises, pumps up). Moreover, it makes the sound somehow special.) In my humble opinion.

I don't usually bother writing reviews but this plugin deserves one. By far the best compressor plugin I have ever used and I've been doing this for a while! I use it all the time for various tasks. It has a lovely transparent sound and nice looking gui and it is excellent for use on drum groups or for pumping the master bus. I don't use the shaper much as I use other tools for that but the shaper sounds nice if used sparingly. It's also not too heavy on the cpu usage and the mix knob allows for easy parallel compression should You desire it. 5/5 from Me, excellent work, thanks very much!

The concept is nice You should be able to adjust the brightness and contrast of the audio from belly to a tinker and adjust the audios punch and thickness "like paint" but its so shallow I could not hear a change. It needs louder depths. And a smoother not a distorter.

This is a sweet comp .. maybe the only thing missing is a auto make-up gain .. U can really shape a nice sound if U take a little time .. If I want something to use that is quicker I will use Reacomp.
