PG FET Compressor

PG FET Compressor is an audio unit (AU) plugin from Positivegrid that models a vintage FET-style dynamic range compressor. It is used in digital audio workstations (DAWs) and audio editing applications on macOS as a mixing and mastering tool for controlling dynamics on individual tracks or across a mix bus. The plugin integrates into the host DAW's mixer and provides controls for threshold, ratio, attack, release and makeup gain alongside visual metering.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">PG FET Compressor is an audio plugin that does not run as a standalone app—it exists only inside a compatible DAW or audio application. To get a native Apple Silicon build, you need to update the plugin through Positivegrid's own distribution channel, not through your DAW's update mechanism. Visit positivegrid.com and look for Positivegrid's installer, plugin manager, or account portal (many vendors offer a portal for managing plugin licenses and downloads). Download and run the latest version of the PG FET Compressor plugin from there; Positivegrid should offer a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build in their installer. Once installed, restart your DAW and the native version should be available in the plugin list. If Positivegrid has not yet released a native Apple Silicon version of this plugin, contact them directly—Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so the Intel-only build will stop working on that release.
