Introducing The AudioScape MK-609 Plugin

The original 1969 circuit this units based off of is better known as one of the most classic bus compressors to exist, and integral to some of the most famous large format consoles.

With built-in limiting and compression, dual independent channels, and a compression style that WANTS to be heard, you can truly bring any source to life.

Working directly with AudioScape we've stayed true to their philosophy of more-real-than-recreated, and have come up with a near doppelgänger of the hardware offering.

Main Sections

Limiter

Simplicity at it's best. This limiter is a staple sound for a reason, and works perfect as the final stage in your dynamics in the circuit for smoothing out the source, and ultimately adding a final layer of control to your sound.

Great for smoothing drum transients, clamping down on a bass guitar or even controlling vocal stacks!

Compression

One of the most classic compression sounds found in large format console, with all the modern flexibility you could want.

Featuring 3 Attack Modes, 5 Ratios and an additional SC HPF for clean compression on low-end heavy instruments or mix bus.

Dial in transparent compression, or drive into it for a lively pumpy compression sound.

Ultimate Control

Dial in the perfect dynamic processing everytime with the built-in top bar controls incuded in every Kiive plugin!

I just demoed it out of curiosity, after having bought the excellent XBus compressor, and I found the MK609 stunning. It has become my favorite compressor. It really has something special. Kiive does an amazing job with their plugins, congratulations.

Yeah this does the 609 thing

Love my UAD Neve 33609C for that 3d lift as the last lacquer on my mix-bus before limiting. I needed a native solution but was finding the Arturia Diodecomp609 a bit lifeless. So glad I found the Kiive one, it does ‘the thing’ that the Neve 33609 does, that magic 3d lift with transformer low mid heft that makes everything sound like a goddam record. Plus it has modern features like a great width control, oversampling, dial-able thd (listen for that in the upper mids). It’s an absolute stone cold modern classic. If you’re bored of SSL Buscomp, try the ‘609 on your 2 bus - you’ll never look back, why have cotton when you can have silk?

Lovely comp

This is one of the most natural-sounding comps I've ever used. It just makes everything sound so smooth! And it doesn't hurt that it has that separate limiter section too.
