Royal Compressor XT – Dual Vari-Mu Compressor & Saturation Plugin
The deal
$15 at ADSR Sounds (down from $69). The sale runs through December 1, 2026.
What it is
Royal Compressor XT is a dual-engine vari-mu compressor and valve saturation plugin from United Plugins. It builds on classic 1960s British tube compressor circuitry and puts two complete compressor channels in one rack-style interface. It's aimed at warm, glued-together analog character, and it runs as VST, VST3, AU and AAX.
Who it's for
Mixing and mastering producers who want vintage tube-style glue on buses, vocals, drums or the stereo mix. It also suits anyone who wants more control than a single-channel vari-mu compressor offers.
Key features
- Two compressor channels can work in Left/Right, Mid/Side or Low/High dual-band splits
- Three circuit attack models let you change how the compressor reacts
- Independent valve saturation adds harmonic warmth, with up to 16x oversampling and Linear Phase modes available
- Automatic Gain Control keeps levels steady while you tweak
