A new kind of psycho-acoustic compressor
PSP Flare (originally PSP Flow*) is a new kind of psycho-acoustic compressor that provides exceptional volume consistency without the usual audible side effects associated with heavy compression. Developed with insights from post-production engineer Paolo Pasquariello PSP Flare uses a psychoacoustic approach inspired by advanced post-production techniques to subtly maintain track level consistency. This ensures that your audio remains naturally dynamic without the perceptible effects of compression. While it was specifically designed for film and TV/video post-production, its unique behavior can deliver excellent results in almost any application, and is fantastic at leveling elements in a dense mix.
*Due to an unforeseen trademark conflict with an unreleased product, we have decided to change the name of our newest compressor to PSP Flare.
