sonible has released smart:comp 2, a major update of its AI-powered compressor.
smart:comp 2 combines a multi-dimensional compression approach with wide range of sound-shaping options in a versatile compressor.
smart:comp 2 uses intelligent processing and automatic parametrization to deliver precise and transparent results without compromising the integrity of the input signal. With its wide range of new profiles, smart:comp 2's algorithms find well-balanced dynamics for single tracks, busses and even entire mixes. Users can shape the compression character anywhere from a clean, transparent style to a dirty, punchy sound with a simple dial.
The compressor's spectral processing ensures a dynamic balance with up to 2000 bands constantly working to enhance transparency and also drives smart:comp 2's ducking abilities. Potential spectral clashes between the input and the sidechain signal are automatically corrected to give the sidechain signal exactly the space it needs.
With smart:comp 2 we went for versatility – we wanted to create a single compressor for a variety of users and their individual needs. We have developed a dynamic tool that is a joy to work with, combining uncompromised sound with fast results and creative possibilities.
