CP1A Compressor ($59) is an all purpose stereo/mono compressor, capable of subtle dynamics taming to creative drum shaping. The CP1A utilizes a feed forward design with multi stage level detection/reduction to minimize distortion at extreme settings. Controls have been kept to a minimum for ease of use. The "Mix" control allows easy parallel compression of drums, by enabling the compressed signal to be mixed with the original.
EQ1A Equaliser ($49) is a smooth analog-style program EQ, with Hipass, frequency sweepable Low/High Shelf and variable frequency/Q Low/High mid controls.
IR1A Convolver ($69) is a general purpose convolution plug-in that can load 16-/24-bit mono or stereo AIFF or WAV files. Great for reverb, natural room ambiences. IR1A comes with a selection of IRs, including reverbs, room ambience and guitar cabinets, as it loads standard AIFF/WAV files its easy to create your own IRs or take advantage of the many free IRs available for download.
Mellowhead ($69) is a versatile tube amp and cabinet guitar-sim. The emphasis here is on creating the raw organic sound of a mic'ed tube amp. There are 10 convolution based speaker cabinets and 10 different pre-amp/tone settings, ranging from clean to brutal distortion, as well as 3 band tone controls.
Auto Time Adjuster ($29) is designed to ease workflow in ProTools LE when using plug-ins that generate significant latency. NOTE: FXpansion's VST-RTAS Wrapper is required.

Kompoz makes it easy to collaborate with others. You start by creating a project workspace, then add one or more tracks. You can upload MP3, WMA, or WAV files to your project quickly and easily. As new files are added, the previous files are given a version number so that you can easily keep track of the history and progress of the work. Your project workspace will include a discussion forum where you can post your ideas for the song, lyrics, chord charts, and more. Others can post questions and replies.
On the other hand, you can also search for an existing project and lend a hand! You can search for projects by genre, by artist (other members), keywords and tags, and license type.
