McDSP：CompressorBank

McDSP: CompressorBank

CompressorBank is a high-end compressor plug-in designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern compressors, while delivering complete control of dynamic compression.

In addition to the standard threshold and ratio controls, the actual shape and response of the compression curve can be adjusted with the Knee and BITE controls. Flexible compression control is complimented with pre-filtering and post-compression EQ.

Natural Vocals

CompressorBank is able to respond in natural ways to dialog and vocal signals, so the compression ‘effect’ is not too much of, well, an ‘effect’.

Phase is Back!

Independently make polarity (phase) adjustments for the left and right channels.

Smooth Bass

By filtering out the high frequencies from the key signal, the compressor is no longer tracking those signals, and hence no longer produces buzzing at the output.

Compress Without Killing Transients

What are transients and why do we care so much about them? Also, what do they have to do with compression?

Pre-filter

CompressorBank gives the user total control over filter parameters: pre-filter In/Out, pre-filter InLine, filter type, frequency, Q, and gain.

Compressor

The user can choose different knee shapes, even changing compression paradigms (from a dbx 165 to a Neve 33609), in a single continuous control change.

BITE

As this control is increased, fast signal changes (transients) are allowed to pass through the compressor while the overall compression amount is the same.

TC Circuit

There are 3 different types of detection and tracking algorithms in the AC303: Type-1, Type-2, and Auto.

Static/Dynamic EQ

The gain of the CB303 parametric EQ can be fixed, or dynamically tracked to the amount of signal present in the compressor.
