I had to make an update for Purr-Fect even though I marked the project as discontinued. People keep loving Purr-Fect for its speed, and I get it and I agree, it's nice. So what if it's not a perfect system for perceived loudness, it's close enough. Version 1.53 brings some minor GUI tweaks and support for the latest macOS.
What is Purr-Fect?Purr-Fect is an advanced plugin that offers fast and accurate gain compensation for third-party plugins. At its fastest setting, Purr-Fect measures and compensates for gain changes within 12ms. Unlike the competitors, it's fast enough for you not to notice that it's even there. It works best with static effects, but at a lower speed, it works great with dynamic changes too. Setting it up can be more complex than its rivals, but the resulting speed makes it worth the effort. To simplify the routing process, consider using the free Element, or the paid Blue Cat Audio's Patch Work, DTMF Metaplugin, or Stagecraft Universal plugin. This will make the process much easier and ensure a smoother experience.
Why should you use Purr-Fect?I’d say my favorite plugin developer would be Acustica Audio; even so, I would rather use Massive from Pulsar Audio instead of Acustica’s Magenta just because Pulsar added gain compensation. Another plugin I never use for the same reason is Black Box from Plugin Alliance. It’s freakin’ impossible to make it behave as I want. With the hardware unit, you can place your right hand on the output gain to immediately compensate for settings made with your left. That’s not practical ITB.
Now there's Purr-Fect, it will fix this.Changelog 1.51 - 1.53:
Minor GUI tweaks
Fixed compatibility with the latest macOS
