Control the weight.

The CORE sound
Glue. Bite.
Polish.
Bus. Source. Level.
Bus brings the mix together, with optional Auto recovery. Source gives drums and instruments firmer control and more bite. Level takes a gentler approach to keeping a performance steady. Clean and Punch offer a further choice of compression character.
Colour / Polish
Add harmonic drive, low-end weight and presence, with a broad low-mid contour. Start clean at zero, bring in some texture, or push further for a more assertive sound.
Make Up Gain & parallel Mix
Restore up to 24 dB to the compressed signal before blending it with the dry sound. Make Up Gain, Mix and final Output give each move its own control.
Read the compression
A red gain-reduction meter with a held peak reading makes the amount of compression clear. Global Bypass sits at the top right and bypasses the entire processor.
Sidechain, when you need it
Open the separate detector panel for Peak or RMS detection, a sidechain high-pass filter and external sidechain routing. The main panel keeps the compression controls close.
