Midnight Compressor

Midnight Compressor is an audio unit plugin hosted within Focusrite Plug-in Collective, not a standalone app, so it cannot be updated independently. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon version, update the Focusrite Plug-in Collective application itself through Focusrite's official installer or update tool. Visit focusrite.com to download the latest version of Focusrite Plug-in Collective, which will include the native build of Midnight Compressor and any other bundled plugins. If you use this plugin in other DAWs (such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, or Reaper), those host applications will also need to be updated to their native versions to run native copies of the plugin. Check Focusrite's website for any announcements about native Apple Silicon support for this plugin and the Plug-in Collective platform, as the transition to native builds on M-series Macs continues across the audio plugin ecosystem. With the Rosetta 2 compatibility layer being removed in macOS 28 (late 2027), ensuring all your plugins and hosts run natively will become essential.
