Furnix
Compressor with Saturation
"A feed-forward compressor with three saturation modes and transient Punch — control, density, and analog weight in one move."
Furnix is a full-featured dynamics compressor wrapped in a dark, brushed-metal, ember-orange interface built for tech house, techno, and electronic music. It pairs peak/RMS detection, lookahead, and flexible sidechain filtering with a built-in saturation stage — so you get transparent control and analog heat from a single plugin. Live gain-reduction metering and Delta monitoring let you hear exactly what it's doing to every part of your mix.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. Furnix is completely free to download and use under a proprietary freeware license. No trial, no watermark, no feature limits.
Three Heat modes built into the compressor: Coals (soft tanh — warm, tube-like), Flame (cubic — brighter, more aggressive odd harmonics), and Blast (asymmetric — even harmonics for analog weight). The Heat stage is 4x oversampled with auto-gain compensation to keep loudness stable.
Punch uses a fast dual-time-constant transient detector to re-inject attack energy that compression removes — without touching the sustain. Dial it in to restore snap and impact to drums and transient material after heavy compression.
Delta lets you hear only what the compressor is doing to your signal — it outputs the difference between the dry input and the compressed output. It's a forensic tool for understanding exactly how the compression and saturation are shaping your sound.
Furnix has a sidechain HPF (20–500 Hz) so kick and sub energy don't trigger unwanted pumping, plus an SC Tilt mid-focused detection mode, an external sidechain input for classic ducking, and SC Listen to audition the detector signal while you tune it.
Yes. Furnix is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.
