The LVL01- Revision B is made by reconfiguring the physical hardware, drawing inspiration from the STA-Level with its notable GE-6386 Tubes.
This version is now available as a separate plugin in our store.
Designed for more compression and less distortion, this plugin is perfect for your Drums, Loops, Breakbeats, Bass, Guitars, and Synths.
Its machine learning algorithms are able to provide a more accurate emulation than circuit model technology, resulting in a more “analog” sound.
Punchy, Thick, and Crunchy!
The plugin offers 6 recovery times, a Drive/ Compressor control, and a fully scalable GUI.
“In addition to compression, the LVL-01 is a quick way to add warm, analog vibe to any clean source”
There are a million developers out there right now yet somehow you guys are NAILING it every single time.
Thank you! it sounds creamy and smooth on my mix at low levels of gain.
very interesting, because the programming paradigm is really different and it has nice results.
I like the tone of LVL01, the sound is more open and detailed if used subtly.
I’ve been waiting for this to happen. It’s the perfect application for machine learning. Amazing work.
Very excited to test this out, can’t wait for future releases!
Impressive! Gonna demo it soon.
Tried it, first impressions were: Sounds good, is easy to work with, and adds nice color and both depth and warmth.
I’m running it right now on a track with software monitoring enabled, the lowest buffer possible, and I’m seeing maybe about 5-7% usage on one CPU thread. It’s pretty damn good for what it is, and comparable to most of the compressor plugins I use. On an Apple Silicon Mac with a PreSonus Quantum – an interface/driver that makes some non-trivial demands at low buffer settings.
This sounds awesome. But what is preventing it from stealing your wife, using your bank account, and creating Sky Net? I want this compressor, but I also worry about the survival of humanity!
Very very cool. Love the saturation!
Great work, I’m almost speechless! This will disrupt the audio industry, to say the least.
This being historically the first AI plugin, makes it a collector’s dream keepsake! Worth it just for that alone.
Incredible plug-in. Going to use it on every mix now.
This looks very interesting. Kind of a Retro Sta-Level, from the video it sounds really good. Downloading the demo now!!!
sounds bitchin’. I like stas, and this one definitely seems to have the right mojo.
VERY IMPRESSIVE. IT ADDS SUCH A TASTE TO THE TRACK THAT SOUNDS COMPLETE. BRAVO!!

This affects the pre-amp gain/drive and compression threshold as on the analog unit .
This control has 6 different Recovery / Time Constant settings, the attack, and release both are affected by the 6 different selections.
This control let’s you increase or attenuate the processed signal level.
Control the processed signal / Dry Signal balance with this control.
This provides an approximate RMS value for the gain reduction.
