Dragon Fire
Get Medieval
Tame dynamics and turn up the heat with Dragon Fire, a highly customizable compressor that allows producers to stick with the classics or mix and match tonal characteristics to create custom configurations that were previously the stuff of fantasy.

Lay Siege to Your Sound
Going beyond merely emulating traditional compressor types, Dragon Fire lets you pick and choose the features of each one and even modify the relationships between them to sculpt the sound of the effect itself. You can train Dragon Fire to adeptly slay dynamic issues unique to your project or unleash a kingdom-leveling beast that applies compression in ways never before explored.
Apply VCA punch to an optical compression. Blend between vintage color or modern transparency or go all the way in either direction. Fine tune Dragon Fire’s saturation amount based on its gain reduction to intelligently incinerate your audio however you like. Compress frequency bands as needed to boost, cut, and color specific regions across your entire mix with push-pull technology that puts you in charge of how the effect responds to your sound.
Dragon Fire is the Swiss Army knife of compressors, offering you the ability to soar through your workflow, sculpt your dynamics, and deeply customize its behavior.
Cast a compression weapon of your choice limited only by your imagination.

- FREQ (20hz to 20khz): Lets you set the frequency of the respective filter in the push/pull graph.
- GAIN (0dB to 24dB): Lets you set the gain of the respective filter in the push/pull graph.
- QUAL (0.2 to 5.0): Lets you set the resonance quality of the respective filter in the push/pull graph.
- TYPE (LO SHELVE / PEAK / HI SHELVE ): Lets you set the type of filter in the push/pull graph.
- SOLO (ON / OFF): Lets you solo the respective filter in the push/pull graph.
- MULTI (ON / OFF): Changes the internal compression type from single band to multiband.
- RANDOM (trigger): Generates a random EQ curve. (note that holding down ‘ctrl’ when pressing the random button, resets the EQ curve to default)
- SC (ON / OFF): When turned on, the sc feature lets you use a side-chain signal to generate the compression.
- DRIVE (0% to 100%): Adds an adaptive distortion effect to the signal or bands, based on the amount of gain reduction produced.
- CURVE (0% to 100%): Interpolates between a fast and slow logarithmic release curve, allowing for a more ‘optic’ style compression sound.
- RMS (0% to 100%): Applies RMS smoothing to shape the internal detection signal used to calculate the compression amount.
- KNEE (0% to 100%): Applies a soft knee to shape the internal detection signal used to calculate the compression amount.
- THRESHOLD (-72dB to 0dB): Determines the volume threshold above which the compression kicks in.
- RATIO (1:1 to 40:1): Determines the ratio by which the signal is compressed.
- ATTACK (0ms to 500ms): Determines how quickly the compression kicks in after the signal exceeds the threshold.
- RELEASE (0ms to 5000ms): Determines how quickly the compression fades out after signal falls below the threshold.
- MIX (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes in the compressed signal giving you control over the overall intensity of the effect and the option to use parallel compression.
- HPF AND LPF (20Hz to 20kHz): A high pass and low pass filter to shape the internal detection signal used to calculate the compression amount.
- PULL (0% to 100%): Pulls back the frequencies after pushing the wet signal into the saturation curve.
- CLIP (-72dB to 0dB): Determines the volume threshold above which the clipper kicks in.
- GAIN (-48db to 48db): Lets you set the output volume of the plugin.
