Marquis Compressor is a “universal” compressor AAX, AudioUnit and VST plugin for professional sound and music production applications. You’ll find a very smooth compression performance in this compressor, coupled with a harmonically-rich sound, both suitable for mixing and mastering. Being “universal” this compressor can be used on a wide range of sound material: individual tracks, stems and mixes, producing “clean” or “colored” sound.
Marquis Compressor plugin was built around a tube triode-modeled amplifier cascade. At low Drive settings this cascade produces a mild harmonic coloration while at higher Drive settings you can get a brutal tube saturation which works great for drums, bass, and vocals. At moderate Drive settings this cascade can add a pleasant grit to the mix.
Marquis Compressor features a unique “round” signal level detection algorithm, which creates a very open, punchy, compressed, sound with an impressive transient response. Beside this, Marquis Compressor offers a classic feedback (opto) compression mode switchable to a more common feed-forward compression.
Marquis Compressor carries 3 distinctive compression algorithms, one of them (T3) being modeled after a classic analog compressor. The Gate algorithm is also available which is handy at reducing drum bleed in drum tracks.

...from there. Here are what each of the presets are inspired by: Fabulous Compressor: FabFilter Pro-C (Clean) at default settings Liquid Compressor: Voxengo Marquis Compressor default preset with PDRC set to 10 on all knobs and release at 50ms (which is how I would use it) Master Clip Limiter: My reference for any clip limiter is Voxengo Elephant's...
By the way, Voxengo Elephant's EL-C mode uses the same "dynamics algorithm/response" building blocks as Marquis Compressor and now TEOTE. But in Elephant it was used in so incredibly complex topology I had to use machine optimization to find the best parameters.
...that case is Londonacoustics' Brighton compressor, which can take a LOT of gain reduction on a vocal, followed by voxengo marquis compressor. Marquis is one of the best algo comps but you can also be very exact with it, it's like a little, easy to use "compression lab". It has a great sounding drive,...
