ReContour
The deal
$39.99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $64.99). The sale runs through June 1, 2026.
What it is
ReContour is a dynamics processor by Stagecraft Software that sits somewhere between a compressor and a waveshaper. Instead of traditional knobs, it uses a curve-based interface where you draw and adjust the transfer function directly to control how audio is shaped. It runs in VST3, AU, and AAX formats and is compatible with all major DAWs.
Who it's for
Mixers and producers who want more control over dynamics than a standard compressor provides. It works particularly well on drums, bass, and synths where precise tonal shaping or creative saturation is the goal.
Key features
- Curve-based compression lets you draw exactly how your signal is processed, going far beyond what threshold and ratio knobs allow
- Dual transfer function banks with morphing let you blend between two different curves in real time
- Spectrum band limiting targets specific frequency ranges, similar to a multiband compressor but without the complexity
- Real-time compression graph with hover and freeze functionality shows precisely what the plugin is doing to your signal at any moment
