Product Description
Hi!
I wanted to celebrate Pro Tools / AAX support with new plug-in before update my whole plug-ins with AAX support!
Here is COMPER!
"Multi-Mode", and "Serial Compression" with "Switchable" and "Blendable" circuits!
Confusing?
Not at all! Let me explain!
Basically, COMPER has two compressors in a series. The top side compressor is the first and the bottom side is the second compressor. As you can see, the top side is labeled as "INTERNAL" and the bottom side is labeled as "INTERNAL / EXTERNAL". This means the top compressor has no external side-chain feature. But the bottom one has both internal and external side-chain features. This is a "Serial Compressor". It is great for coloring and also, taming peaks at the same time. Lots of scenarios! Simple...
Let's talk about Multi-Mode!
Each has three compression modes. VCA, FET, and OPTO. You can simply select which mode you want to use. So, it's a basic "Switchable" mode compressor. But these buttons are not radio-button to select mode with one click. You need to click the active button to disable it and enable another mode. Extra clicks??? Why?!?
Because you can use these modes TOGETHER! This is the "Blendable" part!
You can select VCA and OPTO or VCA and FET or any of them or all of them, at the same time! These circuits are PARALLEL and they will be summed according to their count. For example, if you use two modes at the same time, you will get 50/50. If you use all of them, you will get 33.33~/33.33~/33.33~. Using one? 100...
That's all!
FEATURES
- Two compressors in series with three circuits for each
- Multiple circuits are used for each compressor (VCA - FET - OPTO)
- THRESHOLD +10dB to -20dB
- RATIO 1:1 to 20:1 (With 1:1 you can get extra transformer color)
- ATTACK 0.1 to 50ms
- RELEASE 0.05 to 2sec
- HPF 20 to 750Hz (Side-chain)
- INPUT +/-15dB gain compensated (Usable if Threshold can't reach low signals or if you want to push it harder!)
- MAKE-UP +/-15dB
- MIX will "mix" dry and wet signal
- EXT will engage External Side-Chain for the second compressor
- POWER will bypass the whole plug-in
- ANALOG OBSESSION label is oversampling. Simply click it and engage 4x oversampling.
- Touchscreen support
- Resizable interface. Simple "Bottom Right Corner Handle" to resize. 50% to 200%.
*Resizing Tip: When you duplicate the plug-in, it will remember the current state of GUI size. But if you load a new instance, it will be opened at default size. To get rid of this issue, simply follow these steps;
1. Open the plug-in for the first time
2. Resize GUI according to your screen resolution or your liking before setting any knobs
3. Save this state as default preset with your DAW
Now, you will be able to load new instances with the same size.
(If you want to go default size, simply double-click to resize the handle.)
