Precision Buss Compressor

The Precision Buss Compressor is a dual-VCA-type dynamic processor that yields modern, transparent gain reduction characteristics. It is specifically designed to "glue" mix elements together for that cohesive and polished sound typical of master section console compressors. A flexible and intuitive tool, the Precision Buss Compressor is intended primarily for controlling the final output of your mix, but can be usefully applied to a variety of sources from drum busses or overheads to vocal groups, or even as a channel compressor on individual track inserts.

The Precision Buss Compressor's control set features Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release, with all parameters specifically tailored to buss compressor usage. The Release control includes a multi-stage Auto Release also designed for a wide variety of program material. Input and Output Gain control is offered with metering for input, output and gain reduction. A high pass Filter is offered to reduce the sensitivity of the compression to lower frequencies while retaining them in the output signal. An automatic Fade feature is included, which allows the user to set a custom fade-out or fade-in of the mix between 1 and 60 seconds long. Mix control allows the user to achieve "parallel" style dynamics control, with no need for a second buss or channel.

Features:

• Modern and easy-to-use single-band gain control for busses and inserts.
• Transparent, large-format center-console-type dynamics control.
• Auto release for transparent buss compression on a wide variety of sources.
• Automatic Fade in or out, with a range of 1 to 60 seconds.
• Mix control allows blending of wet and dry signals.
