Vertigo VSC-2 is a VST3 audio plugin by Plugin Alliance that emulates the legendary Vertigo Sound hardware quad-VCA compressor. It delivers smooth, precision compression through four discrete 1979-style VCAs—one in the audio path and another in the sidechain of each channel—making it a favourite for stereo bus mastering, mix bus treatment, and precise colour applications. The plugin offers multiple modes including Soft (transparent, ratio-adaptive compression) and Brick (hard limiting), plus sidechain filtering and flexible stereo/mono routing. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
