A fraction of the price.
The pros charge $200-$400 a plugin. Then iLok dongles. Then paid "upgrade plans." RysUp delivers the same pro-grade DSP — and on the subscription, every future plugin — for one low price.

Built different
Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.
The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day — because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.
We iterate faster than anyone
Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.
You ask, we build
Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team — submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.
Here to disrupt, not extract
No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.
Got feedback? Send it our way — we read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.
Questions, answered
Everything you need to know.
What attack and release settings work best on vocals?
Start with Attack around 10–30 ms and Release around 100–300 ms with a 4:1 ratio, pulling 3–6 dB of gain reduction on peaks. Faster attack for rap/aggressive vocals; slower attack to preserve consonants on soft pop vocals. Let the needle breathe — if it's pinned, back off the threshold.
Can RysUpComp replace my SSL bus compressor?
For mix bus glue, yes — RysUpComp is modeled on the same VCA topology as the classic SSL 4000 G bus compressor. Set ratio to 2:1, attack to 30 ms, release to Auto, and pull 1–2 dB of gain reduction. That's the textbook SSL bus move, and it works the same way here.
Does RysUpComp have a sidechain for ducking?
Yes. Route a key input (kick drum, lead vocal) to the sidechain and RysUpComp will react to that signal instead of the track it's on. Great for pumping pads under a kick, ducking a pad under a vocal, or creating that classic house-music sidechain pump.
What ratios does RysUpComp cover?
2:1, 4:1, 10:1, and limit (infinite). 2:1 for gentle glue, 4:1 for musical leveling, 10:1 for aggressive control, and limit for peak catching. No fractional ratios — we kept it to the four ratios that actually matter on the console.
Will RysUpComp work in my DAW?
Yes. RysUpComp ships as AU, VST3, and AAX for macOS (Universal — Intel + Apple Silicon) and Windows 64-bit. That covers Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, GarageBand, Bitwig Studio, and every other major DAW.
What's the difference between the Suite subscription and buying outright?
Buying outright gets you this one plugin forever. The Rys Up Suite subscription ($9.99/mo on annual, $14.99/mo on monthly) gets you every current plugin plus every future plugin we release — one price that unlocks the entire catalog.
Do I need an iLok or dongle?
No. We use a simple license key system. Install once per machine, activate with your email and key, and you're done. No iLok account, no USB dongle, no annual license-manager fees.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes — and we back it with our 30-day fix-it guarantee. Hit a bug? Want a feature added? Email support and we get on it. If we don't ship the fix or feature within 30 days, you're entitled to a full refund, no questions asked. In practice we usually ship within the week — but the guarantee is yours either way. That's the benefit of a small, fast, customer-driven team: you talk to humans, not a ticket queue.
