maximizer
effects/compressora four-band compressor, saturator, and stereo imager akin to the plugin maximus from image-line fl studio. the master output also has a copy of these effects, for gluing together the output
uses inversion-based band splits to negate phase coloration
changelog
1.1
- initial release
