CompressorBank


CompressorBank is a high-end compressor Plug-In designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern compressors.

CompressorBank gives the user complete control of dynamic compression. Common controls such as Output (make-up gain), Threshold, Compression (Ratio), Attack, and Release are provided. Non-standard Knee and Bite controls allow unique and unprecedented articulation of compression characteristics. Multiple peak detection circuit types provide flexibility only previously achieved by owning different compression units. Side chain support, side chain or in-line pre-filtering, and a static/dynamic EQ section (post compression) round out the signal processing capabilities of an already very capable compressor.

In addition to the standard Threshold and Compression (Ratio) controls, the actual shape and response of the compression curve can be adjusted with the Knee and Bite controls. Knee softens the compression curve, creating a smoother response. Bite gives the compressor the ability to allow signal transients to pass uncompressed, while the overall compression response is unchanged. These controls allow the user to emulate repsonses of their favorite vintage gear.

Using the same technology as our popular FilterBank Plug-In (including analog satuartion modeling), this static/dynamic parametric EQ section can be applied to the compressor output, making possible effects such as signal enhancement, noise reduction, and harmonic distortion.

CB4 is a collection of specific classic high-end compressors and modelers developed the McDSP engineering team. Included are emulations of the Teletronix LA2A, the dbx 165, the Neve 2254E/33609, the UREI 1176LN (blackface, including the '44' setting), and other classic high-end compressors and limiters.

CompressorBank features include:

Side Chain Support:
Provided in all CompressorBank configurations. Side chain pre-filtering (high pass, low pass, and band pass, and paramteric EQ) is also available. The pre-filter can also be placed in-line and applied to the compressed signal.
Compression Curve Modeling
Multiple Peak Detection Circuits:
Every compressor uses a model to detect and track signal peaks and then apply dynamic compression. Variation of basic models are available in CompressorBank:
Type1: pure peak detection
Type2:
pure peak detection combined with adaptive release times, plus a secondary release control
Bite:
Bi-directional Intelligent Transient Enhancement - as this control is increased, fast signal changes (transients) are allowed to pass through the compressor while the overall compression amount is the same.
Auto:
signal levels are automatically tracked.
Dynamic EQ

Processing Specifications:

Double precision arithmetic for 48 bit processing at side chain pre-filter, compression and active EQ stages .

More Info:

double precision arithmetic. Analog saturation modeling on each band prevents digital clipping. More Info: analog saturation modeling.
