Product Description

• Precision Comp/Limiter Discrete Class-A Dynamics Processor A legend turned plug-in The Precision Comp Limiter is based on one of the legendary British compressors found in top-level studios worldwide. Originally produced in the ‘70's as an evolution of the previous 2254 model
• it quickly became a much sought after unit for many audio applications
• including music recording/mixing
• mastering
• post-production and broadcasting. Its sonic character is not as aggressive as that of many other popular units of the same era. Even when the unit is pushed to extreme settings
• the compression is fairly gentle and retains a musical quality that doesn't "choke" or squash program material. Nevertheless
• the compression effect is clearly distinguishable. Technology behind the British Sound The modeling starts at the core
• with the diode network used for the compression and the set of custom transformers responsible for the unique
• fat and bold character; input and output transformers were so closely replicated that all of the hardware’s inherent sonic signature is in there. It just takes a listen to appreciate the fully modeled signal path
• where compressor and limiter can be engaged or excluded separately
• combining gain reductions and time constants for more complex and articulate results. The interaction between the class-A circuitry and the custom transformers used in the signal path really do make a difference in how this units affects the audio quality of the tracks it's processing
• even when no compression is applied. The Mix Bus is where the magic happens As its hardware counterpart
• this module is equally at home in many applications; in mixing contexts it can easily be used to fatten up single tracks and have them in a precise space and dynamic range within the mix. The series of controls so closely replicated has some added bonuses: the input control was not present on the hardware unit; in the T-RackS model this allows to feed more signal into the module thus producing a more pronounced compression effect. Additional flexibility is given by the standard stereo (L/R) or Mid/Side (M/S) operation. The dual nature of the unit
• featuring a separate compressor and a limiter allows for some very interesting results: the combination of the two independent sections can lead to some complex gain reductions as the compressor can impart a lighter and gentler compression
• while the limiter can be set for a more audible effect. Its sound quality is so euphonic and musical that even single tracks individually compressed
• or simply passed through the Precision Comp/Limiter will gain presence and character. Nevertheless it really shines as a stereo master bus compressor
• turning an “OK” mix into a finished song
• where the effect of compression is there
• but its subtle and gentle character really works the magic on a track. System Requirements Mac® (64-bits) Minimal: Apple M1 or Intel® Core i5 Processor
