Carve Audio have released Smashburger, available at the intro price of $29.00, increasing to $79.00 after the promotion.
Smashburger isn’t just a compressor. It’s punch, warmth, and glue in one tool, combining transient shaping, tube tone, tape drive, and parallel control for bold, finished mixes.
Smashburger delivers the fast, punchy sound of a classic FET compressor—the kind that makes drums explode and vocals leap out of the mix.
But unlike the originals, it’s been expanded with a wider range of controls, giving you even greater clarity, control, and mix glue without losing the vibe that makes FETs legendary.
It’s the best parts of vintage hardware, with the control and workflow modern mixes demand.
With built-in options for tube warmth, tape-style saturation, and subtle drive, Smashburger adds thickness and attitude right inside the compressor.
No need to stack extra plugins—just hit a button to give your mix the edge it’s missing.
Parallel compression usually means duplicate tracks, bus routing, and level balancing. Smashburger makes it effortless with a dedicated Wet/Dry knob, so you can dial in that aggressive “New York” sound without ever leaving the plugin.
Smashburger is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
