1-Komp: One Knob Compressor

One-Knob Compressor is an audio compressor designed for producers who want quick, great-sounding results without dealing with thresholds, ratios, or attack settings. With a single control called Amount, everything is handled under the hood — the more you turn it up, the more compression you get, in a smooth and musical way.

Whether you’re working on vocals, bass, synths, drum buses, or full mixes, One-Knob Compressor adds control, presence, and polish with minimal effort. Ideal for beatmakers, sound designers, and anyone who values speed without sacrificing quality.

Dry Example:

1-Komp from 0% to 100% - from 100% to 0%:

Beta access on macOS. 1-Komp is in open beta and not notarised by Apple yet — notarisation arrives with the stable release. Until then macOS keeps the quarantine flag it puts on every downloaded file, so there is one short step the first time you install.

Copy the plugin into your Components folder:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

then run this once in Terminal to clear that flag:

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/1-Komp.component

That is all: macOS then loads it like any other plugin, and Windows needs no setup at all. If your DAW still does not list it, write to hi.23dsp@gmail.com with your macOS version and DAW — beta reports get priority.
