Product Description

• COMP-4K-BUS is the gold standard of mix bus compression. Originally featured on the master bus of an iconic series of 80s British consoles
• this unit is capable of bringing together instruments and performances from various sources into one larger-than-life
• cohesive whole.  COMP-4K-BUS belongs on the Master track. Start mixing right into it or use it after everything else in the mix is ‘said and done’. In both cases
• this 80s-inspired plugin will glue it together and turn it into a balanced
• homogeneous production with the much-desired vintage punch.  Music has evolved over the past decades and so have the tools we use to shape it. Sub-low frequencies often play a vital part in modern music and present the danger of triggering the bus compressor
• which often results in an over-compressed mix. To prevent that and to meet the needs of modern producers and engineers we have included a sweepable SideChain Filter.  Other than mix bus applications this compressor has also proven itself as a powerful parallel processor. To accommodate the so-called New York-style compression the COMP-4K-BUS is equipped with a “Mix” knob that can determine the blend between the compressed and unprocessed signal
• which expands its versatility beyond the mix bus.  History The original design was first born as a modified dbx 161 and lived in the center sections of those early Oxford consoles. That gave it its aggressive and punchy sound which shaped most of rock and pop music over the past four decades.  Like any piece of equipment that has reached similar popularity and overwhelming approval of the people using it
• this compressor has been cloned and copied by countless hardware and software companies. The analog circuitry has long left the centerpieces of those early consoles and is now living predominantly in 19-inch rack units and 500-series format. Companies have kept altering and modifying their clones so as a result its inherent dbx punch has somewhat been lost.     To bring back the essence that built its reputation Antelope Audio have made a faithful recreation of the original design by modeling a unit from one of those early consoles. To stay true to the heritage of this compressor and to remind people where the circuitry came from we also included the “Auto Fade” feature found only on the original center sections with an adjustable rate in seconds.  Features The gold standard of mix glue compression  Faithfully recreated from the early 80s mixing consoles  Featuring the classic Auto Fade feature  Adapted to the modern age with few extra controls  Included versions Native Plugin: Runs on your Mac or PC without any additional hardware needed.
