About
Poseidon is a compressor and a look-ahead limiter in one. The compressor has five characters: clean and exact, a punchy VCA, a smooth opto, a bus glue and a driven vintage FET.
An external sidechain, a sidechain filter and a parallel mix give you control over what it hears and how much of it you keep, and the limiter after it catches every peak under the ceiling.
39 presets for vocals, drums, bass, mix buses, mastering, electronic, instruments and creative squashing.
