This unique character compressor can deliver everything from soft saturating compression to explosive brick-wall limiting. Add colour to your tracks Use the DRIVE control to generate subtle and gentle harmonics or destroy your signal. You can even use the compressor in 1:1 ratio to warm your tracks without compressing. BLITZ! mode Slam room mics or energize your entire mix using the “all in” BLITZ! mode – compounding brick-wall limiting with a logarithmic decay gives a distinct sound that sounds amazing on live drum room recordings. But the fun doesn’t need to stop there. Get creative! Parallel compression The MIX control can be used to dial in the original signal – allowing for parallel compression and punch, or for simply reducing the intensity of the effect to blend in better with the rest of your mix. Detection sidechain Use the HPF to remove unwanted low-end frequencies – perfect for drum busses! – and tame unruly vocals and harshness using the detection sidechain bell filter. Built on the SSL Plug-in Engine The SSL Plug-in Engine offers cross-platform preset management, A/B comparison, a built-in UNDO/REDO stack and brand new built-in contextual help to guide you through the features of the plug-in.
