Optron 3A is a VST compressor plugin featuring an
opto-electric design similar to that found in hardware devices like
LA-2A or LA-3A. Its main aim is to maintain a consistent volume level
without loud peaks.
"Unlike standard compressors with adjustable
parameters (attack, release, ratio, threshold etc.), Optron’s behaviour
ist program dependent and adapts to the processed signal. Its mainly
designed for processing solo tracks such as vocals, guitars, drums or
other instruments, due to its specific nature it is not very suitable as
a bus- or mastering compressor."
