I'm using Reaper (32 bit) on PC
i'm sorry, i am not at all familiar with that program. my only suggestion would be to google free audio plugins. there are some out there, but i don't know what would work with reaper.
if you somehow get a hold of plugins, waves offers a very comprehensive bundle of plugins. they also offer a 2 week free trial period. the renaissance bundle is fantastic. the RComp is the one in that bundle that does negative ratios. works very well. on a side note, Farview prob wouldn't like that plugin as it has a setting for "warm" and "smooth". Farview's opinion has merit, but the setting for "warm" does sound warm to me, and the setting "smooth" sounds smooth to me. perhaps adjectives aren't entirely as worthless as previously stated. i love the RComp. it's the comp i use most. i assume the warm and smooth are knee selections as there is no other knee control. there is also a setting for opto or VCA style characteristics. that's very cool
waves C4, C6, & LinMB multiband compressors all have the ability to do negative ratios on any band range which is nice because you can give some ranges a bump while taming others. worth checking out. all of those have variable knees, and all of them allow u to switch between VCA and opto characteristics
