cclarry Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 PresentDayProduction has released Kompreskimo, a free compressor effect plugin with a single main slider to control the threshold and ratio. Available in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and Mac. The plugin looks stupid, but it doesn't mean that it's completely bad. Anybody used it? Any opinion? https://www.presentdayproduction.com/kompreskimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rintoul Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Unfortunate name for a plugin. The term "Eskimo" is a loaded term and is considered offensive here in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rintoul Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Just looked at their Youtube video comments. It looks like they were aware of how the term might come across and they did their research and consulted with some Inuit. Here is their response when someone else brought up the issue: Thanks Evan! Yes we are well aware of that, and have actually been in contact with a few Inuit people (one of whom used to commute between two of the towns on the plugin for work!). They can’t speak for all of them, but they thought it was funny and took no offence whatsoever. Anyway, it was the subject of much discussion and one of the first points bought up when we were designing the plugin. No offence intended to any Inuit people of course, hopefully we can just make their mixes a bit warmer! 😎 I am okay with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
