JAX Squasher

JAX Essentials Series deliver MIDI controllable Audio Units (AUv3) which are the building blocks for audio production and available across all Apple Silicon devices.

The JAX Squasher is a self adjusting loudness maximizing limiter with super easy adjustment. Just increase the input gain or tweak the threshold parameter up to the desired level. Very short attack and release times can produce harmonic distortion but the effect is intended to be used for transparent limiting / loudness compression results.

Use the same AudioUnits (AUv3) across all Apple Silicon devices, including the iPhone, the Apple Vision Pro and the Mac (M1/2/3/4). Native MacOS apps like GarageBand, MainStage 3 and Logic Pro are supported. Any 3rd-party AUv3 supporting host should be able to host the plugin too. The hosts must support Apples standards for MIDI enabled effect processors.

MIDI automation is inbuilt. Just select the MIDI Controller for the desired automation parameter. Multiple assignments are possible. All audio unit parameters are exposed for direct AU automation.

JAX Essential Series have the following key features :

• ultra efficient with low memory footprint, made for stacking up
• fully scalable to any screen size, based on vector drawing
• freely MIDI assignable parameters and control
• all effects can be mixed to the audio with any amount
• inbuilt preset management and factory sets
• upwards compatible with older devices and iOS versions
• available on all Apple Silicon platforms, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS with one release and price

More infos can be found on our support website https://audio.digitster.net For advanced usage (i.e. mastering and exciting), we recommend to select the chorus from our SELECTIVE RANGE SERIES, which allows to limit the frequency range for audio processing.

This build is truly 'universal', meaning, the audio unit is available for:

• MacOS (Apple Silicon)
• iOS (all actual iPhones)
• iPadOS (all actual iPads)
• visionOS (Apple Vision Pro)

( AudioUnits (AUv3) are app extensions, requiring an audio host application to perform. )

OS requirements: MacOS 10.15++ iOS 14.0++
