Plugin Compressor

Brainworx’s bx_console AMEK 200 is a console plugin that combines the sound of the AMEK EQ 200, AMEK Mastering Compressor, and the gate/expander of the bx_console AMEK 9099; it would be nearly impossible for a console like this to exist in the real world. The complexities of physically integrating the components and the cost associated with such a hardware unit make the bx_console AMEK 200 an analog-modeled dream come true.

Designed for a “Big Impact”. The original hardware Vertigo VSC-2 Quad Discrete Compressor built its stellar reputation largely on the four custom hand-built, discrete “1979” VCAs used in its design. Unlike other VCA compressors, the VSC-2 incorporates four discrete 1979 VCAs across two channels. This plugin version of the VSC-2 captures every nuance of the original hardware, bringing its smooth, clear, glossy, and precise performance to your DAW.

The coreFX Suite is the ultimate effect bundle with all the essential tools for professional sound design: It includes a rhythm effect for contemporary productions, five plug-ins for precise dynamic control, three modulation effects for creating richness and space, as well as the latest addition to the possibility of automating essential processing tasks. All dynamic plug-ins display the dry and processed waveform in real time.

ADPTR Audio’s Sculpt represents the future of dynamic and tonal control. Designed for master and group buses, Sculpt lets you thoroughly and cleanly reshape your sounds in ways that other processors simply can’t. At its heart are a remarkably transparent “Upward” Compressor, a more traditional Downward Compressor, and powerful Tonal and Transient “Sculpt” sections. Use it to add refining touches to masters and mix buses, or to enhance specific elements inside of samples, stems and instrument groups.

Kiive Audio XTComp - The FET compressor with British mode and colorful tones. Kiive Audio’s XTComp is a FET compressor plugin that recreates the sound of the most popular hardware compressors of the modern era. Known for its speed, versatility, and attitude, it’s a must-have for crushing drum busses, squeezing kicks and basses, and controlling acoustic guitars. It also makes for a versatile vocal compressor plugin.XTComp features distinct ratios, each functioning as a separate compressor with its own attack, release, and knee characteristics. Depending on the settings you use, you can recreate the sound of an LA-2A or 1176. Enhance the tone of your recordings with the DIST modes, which introduce 2nd or 3rd-order harmonics, emulating the drive of tube or tape equipment.

Our IA-LA1 compressor plugin is designed to be super responsive. It comes with a transparent algorithm that introduces no distortion or artefacts. But if colouration is required we have the THD control, which introduces a gentle dynamic distortion adding extra warmth and depth.

We can’t remember what life was like before this compressor, and we don’t want to. The modern, glossy, sound that cleans up unfocused or otherwise embarrassing tracks has now been transmogrified into a plugin, infused with the Purafied workflow that gets your mixes out the door.
