Topology:
This is a Class A discrete compressor inspired by classic designs, known for its smooth, musical compression and rich analog character. It features transformer-balanced input and output stages and utilizes a diode bridge topology, delivering a warm, vintage sound often associated with iconic British consoles. A specific modification introduced by a renowned mastering studio enhances this compressor’s versatility, particularly for mastering and bus compression applications.
What It Sounds Like:
- Warm and Analog, Smooth and Musical Compression, Glue Effect, Vintage Character
What It’s Good On:
- Vocals: Adds warmth and presence, smoothing out dynamics while retaining clarity and emotional impact.
- Drum Buses: Excellent for gluing drum elements together while adding punch and fullness.
- Bass: Provides control and body, making bass lines feel solid and well-defined.
- Acoustic Instruments: Adds a warm sheen to guitars, strings, or pianos, enhancing their natural tone.
- Mix Bus: Glues elements of a mix together, adding analog warmth and subtle cohesion.
Tone Empire used up to 192k Models that minimize aliasing and have a higher frequency response. The incoming audio is oversampled to run the Ultra X Models. These require more CPU usage for superior quality closest to the original source.
