We're pleased to announce our next audio plugin, which also takes the quality of London Acoustics to the next level, with no compromises: BRIGHTON OPTO TUBE COMP

Check out high resolution audio samples, more videos, and manual, at this link: Brighton Opto Tube Comp - London Acoustics - Audio Plugins: http://www.londonacoustics.com/product/ ... tube-comp/

What is it?
Brighton Opto Tube Compressor is a custom-built, versatile compressor with a strong character. It can be slow and smooth like a classic RMS opto with normal settings, or push it to extremes and it is very capable of some snappy ‘pumping’.

What makes Brighton Opto Tube Compressor tick?
It is based both on a classic Vactrol VTL5 optical photocell detector and a custom-built one, prototyped on a breadboard with a new-concept, custom-circuit tube preamp designed by V. Realacci of Sound & Light (in Formia, Italy).

Brighton Opto Tube Comp is an official third-party plugin for N4 Player
This plugin uses a patented technology courtesy of Acustica Audio SRL Nebula ©. For more information after purchase, please read the accompanying manual for installation, settings and usage.

What is it best used for?
With its modern tube compressor concept, Brighton OTC is well suited to a wide range of applications, especially for vocals (even with a high amount of gain reduction), lead lines, bass and drums – short attack and recovery are very interesting. Also, using it in buss or master buss with moderate settings can be pleasantly surprising.

Fast attack and recovery
The attack and recovery times are, for this machine, quite fast compared to other similar compressors thanks to the use of a very fast type of LED light source.

Internal Sidechain
Brighton Opto Tube Comp is already capable to retain a good amount of low-end even at a high level of reduction and 100% wet signal, but if this is not enough, it also features an internal sidechain to allow the user to set the low response at the preferred level.

Price (MSRP): €85.00 [now with the introductory price of €68 (20% off) until the 19th of July]

Licensing: Challenge-response authorization system allows activation for two computers per license.

The trial version is fully functional for a duration of four weeks. Trial license allows the activation of two computers per license.

Brighton sounds fantastic but it really needs an output control. The saturation knob just increases the input level and if you're not using any makeup gain, there's no way to compensate for the input boost. Also some VU weirdness here and there. Does the compression go down when you use the red settings?? Because the VU action sure shows a lot less compression. You need to increase the peak reduction when using the red settings?? It's a little weird that the compression levels visually change so much when you're trying different attack and release settings.

Post

The SATURATION knob auto compensates the IN and OUT.

Please set always the input volume of your track feeding the plugin not more than -18dBFS.

Regarding the IN VU meter behaviour, unfortunately, it takes the signal before the compensation (it's a limit of the Acqua technology, with our complex routing, at the moment), then in case you raise the SATURATION knob, please don't trust in the IN VU meter to match the IN/OUT levels, just use your ears (be, as usual, careful to go over the 3 'o clock, heavy distortion spikes may occour).

We also want an N4 player update that allows Brighton to function properly!!!

It's not strictly Brighton related, it seems to be an issue for 3rd party plugins in general.
For now just downgrade to N000 (PC) or L000 (Mac). There is no loss of performance/sound quality compared to P000.
They are working on it.

As much as I hate N4 and the whole ecosystem complications (exclusive to me) - I can recall this company compressor and their tape plugin is icing on the cake. Even though I am not going to try it, I can safely recommend this for the sound itself which was amazing back then so I guess this one is even better.

Post

How does this get released with a VU meter that doesn't work??? Unbelievable. And yes I'm running the latest N4.5
