Uraleq

Uraleq is a multiband compressor plugin for Windows. It has advanced features like mid-side processing, two crossover filter modes (Linkwitz-Riley and linear-phase), amplitude modulation, and other valuable tools you probably won’t find in other multiband compressors. The interface is intuitive and straightforward, despite the advanced feature set. Each of the four frequency bands offers attack, release, threshold, ratio, and knee controls.

The channel strip for each band comes with dual delay and balance controls. The less-used controls like modulation and oversampling are conveniently placed along the sides. This way, they’re easy to reach but don’t get in the way of using the more crucial multiband compression parameters. Uraleq’s obvious flaw is the lack of compatibility with macOS (it’s only available as a VST3 plugin for Windows). However, if you’re a Windows-based user looking for a quality free multiband compressor, Uraleq is well-worth downloading.
