Unfiltered Audio Zip v1.4.0

On bass guitar tracks, select Darkness mode to compress headroom-eating low notes while giving higher-pitched notes room to breathe. Using Noisiness mode, you can make Zip's compressor clamp down only on overdriven electric guitar chords while leaving palm mutes on the same track loud and proud. Solving unusual audio challenges is child's play for Zip.

Use Extreme's lightning-fast response on drum room mics to explode the room's ambience while simultaneously making the kick and snare sound tighter and punchier. On full mixes, Zip's Classic style and High Pass filtering in the sidechain will make your mix's bottom end thunder. Or use Goopy style to add vintage glue and density. Zip has many flavors.

Using the modulators, you can easily...
