Pro-level presets
Skip the guesswork with mix-ready settings that instantly add warmth to vocals, punch to drums, and smoothness to bass.
Compressor or limiter, your call
Easily switch between Compressor and Limiter modes. Take precise control over release time and compression amount to get the right amount of vintage character in your tracks.
Modern features, vintage sound
Enjoy the sound of classic analog hardware with modern control. Calibrate for versatile headroom and take advantage of modern features like Sidechain and Hi-pass Filter.
If a plugin sounds this good, I can't imagine how awesome it would be to own the original hardware. I was looking for a good buss compressor to fill the void left by my SSL Waves Buss Compressor.
