“The Arousor is a compressor plugin without equal! Instantly exciting and instantly musical. There’s no turning back!” – Greg Wells
Since its release in 2016, the AROUSOR has become an industry standard used on dozens of Grammy Winning records. Now, that glorious AROUSOR sound is available in its simplified and cost-effective little brother: AROUSOR LT
Like the full version, AROUSOR LT is a Classic Knee Compressor plug-in, with identical processing. Its Distressor “DNA”, gives it that look, feel and sound of beloved analog compressors. AROUSOR LT brings all this tone and functionality into a price range that works for everyone. The “AROUSOR SOUND” top tier engineers rely on for their hit tracks will now improve your mixes at a price that won’t sprain your wallet.
By simplifying the controls, hiding a few functions, and reducing the available ratios from 12 to the most commonly used 4, the AROUSOR LT provides the core sound and function of the full version in a low cost, easy to use but still powerful package. The AROUSOR LT can excite any source, be it an instrument, voice, submix or master buss. Just like the full version, LT provides Mono and Stereo versions, supports VST, AU, AAX native, AAX-DSP and VENUE systems as part of the standard license.
Attack Modification
The attack modification slows down the initial slope of the attack envelope to add just a little bit more of the transient back into the track.
AtMod is a fixed setting on the Arousor LT, and is set to “3” as opposed to the Arousor’s default value of “2”.
Colorful Saturation
Add some vintage-style harmonic distortion to any track with the soft clipper. Whether you are looking for subtle or extreme amounts of total harmonic distortion, the soft clipper will deliver.
Detector Sidechain
high-pass
A simple, yet incredibly useful 110Hz High-Pass filter is included to remove low frequencies from triggering the compression detector.
hand-picked ratios
The three compression ratios were carefully selected to offer the user a wide range of useable sounds from the Arousor LT on any audio source. The 1:1 ratio is included to allow users to drive the saturation without compression.
- Full control over the AtMod and Saturation parameters
- Access to ALL of the 12 ratios, including RIVET and two new ratios (6.5:1 and 7:1) which can be selected by enabling “ALT” mode in the ratio section. Also included are two OPTO Modes based on the time constants of a classic and a modern LA2A.
- Soft Clipper Expert Panel that allows for introducing more second harmonic distortion and the ability to place the compressor input before or after the soft clipper circuit.
- Advanced Detector Sidechain EQ which includes a listen mode to hear what frequencies are affecting the compression detector.
- Three extra Stereo-Link modes. (Arousor LT is set to “Image Link”, the default Arousor Link mode)
- Blend Control that allows mixing between Dry and Wet signals.

FAQs
Do I need an iLok USB to use the Arousor?
Not anymore! Now, you can activate the Arousor to iLok Cloud!
How do I upgrade to Arousor Rev 3?
Arousor Rev 3 is free for all current Arousor users. All you have to do is download the latest installer from the downloads page.
Is the Arousor an emulation of the Distressor?
Yes and no. The Arousor is more of an evolution of the Distressor than it is an emulation because it has much more advanced features like the AtMod and the Soft Clipper.

I love it so much man. It’s the best compressor in software that’s available right now. I won’t comment on Arousor but sometimes you have to tread over the dead bodies to get to the bonds, you smell me on that?
Mark Hagen –

Joao Souza –
The best compressor plugin, period. And I’m talking about the LT, not the full version. Everything you need in a smaller, simpler format. Well done Empirical Labs!
Neil Zaza –
I use the Arouser on everything and the LT is becoming just as valuable to me. A very quick workflow if I don’t need the tweakable elements. This is a must have!
