Bus compression that you can lean on.
There's a reason this compression style shows up on the master of so many records.
It binds a mix together with power and cohesion while keeping everything punchy and upfront. We modeled the modern hardware revision that a lot of engineers secretly prefer over the original, then added a headroom knob among many other features, so you can push into the compression and find that sweet, driven feel.
It's the classic VCA glue you already reach for, with more room and versatility to play with.
The Compressor.
The punch and cohesion of a legendary VCA bus compressor, ready to make a mix sound finished.
With intuitive controls designed to shape transients, dial in energy, and tighten up the stereo field, this is where your mix locks in and starts coming to life.
Advanced Controls.
Shape the response with sidechain filtering, and add harmonic weight with optional saturation controls to tailor the compression behavior to suit anything from delicate vocals to dialed in masters.
Use the Headroom knob to drive harder into the compression for more attitude, or back off for clean glue.
Place the saturation pre or post signal and see what type of tonal possibilites you can come up with.
