Raw Efficiency
Adjust dynamics up or down instantly and get usable, musical results in seconds. No complicated setup. No guesswork.

Fully Volume-Independent

Laser-Sharp Detection
Powered by a 2-band, half-spectral, RMS, program-dependent detector, Couture accurately identifies every transient — without relying on internal thresholds. That means more natural and transparent dynamic control.
