Slate Digital Vst Rarity
Dbx 160 dbx 160:Introduced in 1976. Dbx were renowned for their superior VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) design invented by founder David Blackmer, whose components found their way into many hardware units and mixing boards of the era. URS Classic Console CompressorsThe 1970 Classic Compressor models a classic Neve 2254 (“smooth and warm”), while the 1980 is similar to the SSL E Series compressor (“snappy and aggressive”). All are beautiful-sounding and well worth checking out.The URS compressors also now come in two variants: one with incorporated limiter and sidechain features, the other a more stripped down ‘compressor only’ affair.Available for Mac (32/64-bit, VST, AU and RTAS) and PC (32/64-bit, VST), plus TDM for Pro Tools users. Official site.A Note on Free CompressorsWhen it comes to free compressor plugins we’re really spoilt for choice but there are a few which really stand out – all of them present in our list here.
Again, compressor choice is so subjective – you may very well find your favourite sound is from a freeware compressor rather than a higher-end emulation. It’s horses for courses, and a lot depends on what styles of music you’re producing and what specific sound you’re after.26. Variety Of Sound Density MKIIIVariety Of Sound make some very cool and extremely well-regarded effects and processor plugins, all available for free from their blog. Since our original list, the Density compressor has been upgraded to MKIII, and is still one of the best freeware compressors available.It is also still PC only though!
Download from.27. IK Multimedia T-rackSAvailable in a number of different configurations and bundles, it could perhaps be easy to forget that T-rackS features emulations of the Fairchild 670, Teletronix LA2A and other classics slotted in amongst all the other processors, EQs and effects. Keeping compressor-centric for this list, we’d recommend the T-rackS Vintage Compressors Bundle, which features four somewhat recognisable designs: the ‘Black 76’, ‘White 2A’, ‘Model 670’, and ‘Opto Compressor’.
Bonus points are available if you can name each of their antecedentsAvailable for Mac (32/64-bit, VST, AU, AAX and RTAS) and PC (32/64-bit VST and AAX). Official site.39. PSP Audioware oldTimerMEME stands for ‘Master Edition’, as this is an expanded version of the original oldTimer that brings extra controls to bear for mastering processing, on top of it’s general abilities as a truly vintage-style compressor/limiter. PSP never disappoint, and this one is well worth checking out if you’re in the market for an extremely musical compressor plugin.Available for Mac (32/64-bit, VST, AU, AAX and RTAS) and PC (32/64-bit VST, AAX and RTAS).via.40. Slate Digital FG-XAn innovative take on the mastering compressor, FG-X incorporates two modules: FG Comp, a master buss compressor, and FG Level, a sort of limiter/maximizer stage that uses a specially-created algorithm called ITP (‘Intelligent Transient Preservation’) to automatically keep things hot and saturated without overcooking it. Cakewalk CA-2A T-Type Levelling AmplifierCakewalks iteration of the LA2A hardware compressor is a fine emulation, accurately finding the classy transparency and aptitude for mix gluing of the original. Additions include an ever-useful external sidechain input, a cool Photocell memory setting that can be switched between Classic and Fast Reset, and a little knob marked ‘R37′, which refers to the original LA2As ’emphasis’ circuit.Available for Mac (32/64-bit VST and AU) and PC (32/64-bit VST).Official site.45.
Stillwell Audio Bombardier Buss CompressorFeaturing a GUI panel of rich mahogany that would make Ron Burgundy proud, Bombardier is a very full-featured mix-buss and mastering compressor. With controls and features borrowed from a raft of classic and modern compressors, Bombardier doesn’t directly emulate any particular classic, but Stillwells choices here are well thought out. One interesting feature is the ability to switch the plugins detector circuit between feedback and feedforward modes, echoing the difference between more vintage circuitry and more modern designs. Then there’s the side-chain, which can be set to either Flat, Punch, Heft, Firm or Lift, allowing you to literally massage your signals with a number of different processing profiles.Available for Mac (32/64-bit, VST and AU) and PC (32/64-bit VST). Official site.46. Xfer OTT Multiband CompressorA wild-card entry from Xfer, the people behind the fun LFOtool. Xfer themselves describe OTT it as a “a re-creation of a popular aggressive multiband upwards / downwards compressor setting used by many dubstep and electro producers”, which pretty much sums up its appeal.
It’s absolutely a one-trick pony – and you might not even like that pony – but if you do, this is free and worth a spin on your next house/trap/dubstep track.Available for Mac (VST, AU and beta AAX) and PC (VST). Official site and download.47. Variety of Sound ThrillseekerLA / ThrillseekerVBLFor a long while our favourite compressor from Variety of Sound has been the ThrillseekerLA, delivering the best free LA2A emulation around. More recently we’ve been delving into the charms of the ThrillseekerVBL. Based on a “vintage broadcast limiter”, the VBL works great on groups and the stereo buss, adding a satisfying dollop of mix glue. Recommended.Available for PC only (VST). Download from.48.
Native Instruments Vari CompYet another good reason to purchase NI’s, Vari Comp is another Native Instruments / Softube collaboration. This one uses as its inspiration the famed Manley Variable Mu compressor (unusual for its vacuum tube gain control rather than an optical/valve amplifier configuration).
The processing could be more suitable for gentler genres than some of todays electronic and rock styles – with it’s bags of character it would work well for more jazzy or folky tracks, where you’ll appreciate the non-transparent warmth but without it getting too modern and aggressive.Available for Mac (32/64-bit VST, AU, RTAS and AAX) and PC (32/64-bit VST, RTAS and AAX).via. Softube FET CompressorSoftubes discreet take on the 1176 doesn’t disappoint. Featuring the quality ‘hard and fast’ compression meticulously modelled from the original hardware, the ingenious Swedes have also switched the controls about and added a few new tricks to the old dog: rather than the famous four buttons we get a single Ratio knob with an ‘all’ setting, a parallel compression control, and ‘Detector’ section where sidechains and filtering can be applied. Not to mention the cool ‘vintage hi-fi’-style GUI.Available for Mac (32/64-bit, all formats) and PC (32/64-bit, all formats).via.50. Nomad Factory Bus DriverDrawing inspiration from the seminal processors of the 1960s – the “golden age” of tube compressor design – Bus Driver features a distinctive Tube-Driver Saturation control for adding the character of sound passed through a vintage tube amplifier to your compressed material. The compression section itself features familiar 1176-style ratio buttons and includes an Output Stage Soft-Clipping algorithm designed to produce smoother saturation/distortion and eliminate digital clipping.The founder of Nomad Factory, respected plugin developer Bernie Torelli, very sadly passed away recently.
As a touching parting gesture to the audio community that encouraged and supported him during his illness, he and Nomad Factory decided to make Bus Driver free to download, with the option of making a donation to help Nomad Factory continue on.So show your love, find out more about Bernie and the details on the voucher code you need for the download. Soundtoys Devil-Loc DeluxeCertainly one of the best and most celebrated audio plugin ranges around, Soundtoys have just released a long-awaited update to their complete bundle with Soundtoys 5. A full five years in the making, we thought this was as good a time as any to highlight a single plugin from the bundle: the Devil-Loc Deluxe drum compressor/limiter.While many producers are also partial to using Soundtoys’ Decapitator saturation plugin for some dynamics control while gleefully crushing their signals, Devil-Loc is designed more specifically for producing crushing drum sounds, smashed and limited to within an inch of their lives – but all “with a vintage vibe”.
There are two versions: Devil-Loc is a simple two-dial setup – for applying “Crush” and “Crunch” respectively – while Devil-Loc Deluxe adds Slow/Fast Release, Darkness (high cut) and Mix controls.As with all the Soundtoys processors and effects, the presets are wide-ranging, inspiring and highly useable – yet it’s always easy to mould and fit processed sounds into a mix, and the possibilities for creative mis-use are endless. Ridiculously classy.Available for Mac (32/64-bit, AAX Native/Audiosuite, VST and AU) and PC (32/64-bit, AAX Native/Audiosuite and VST).via.That’s our pick of the very best compressors available. Leave your comments, thoughts, corrections below!For more tips and techniques for getting the most out of compressors in your tracks, don’t forget to check out our Ultimate Guide to Compression:And if you like this post, you might also like these. Hi Terry, yes I did make an editorial decision not to include UA plugins that required the additional UAD DSP hardware.
It seemed that to stick to the title of the post, and with the vast number of other choices available, it would be more useful to readers to stick tightly to ‘pure’ software-only plugins. Highly contentious I admit, and especially as the UA range IS so good – I certainly have nothing against the DSP system in general!If more people would also like to see Universal Audio plugins included, let me know here! I think it may be time for a full psychological analysis into the compressor phenomenon. Sound is always going to be very subjective and “program dependent”, personal taste plays a huge part in the choice of compressor. Even the cheapest and nastiest can sound identical to the most expensive and complex on the right settings.
So why should there be more and more comp plugs appearing year after year? Clearly there is some sort of deep innate attraction to compressors -perhaps because they operate faster than the human ear – at a speed of microseconds, and at fractions of a decibel. As I own many of these, I think this is a good list.
It might be a bit much for someone who doesn’t own any of them and I must say that it is a little strange putting all of these compressors in the same category. It’s kind of like comparing beer like a Belgium to a Pale Ale.
They are two entirely different things with entirely different flavors. All plugins have their applications, and it’s a little strange seeing Bus Comps in the same list as Channel Comps.If I had ONE suggestion for someone with a budget and wanting a solid, fail safe, great sounding, easy to use compressor I’d go with the McDSP 6030 Ultimate Comp. It’s my main comp (notably the SSL, Fairchild, LA-2A and OVER-EZ) but I am definitely glad to see Kush’s UBK-1 high on this list. It’s super dope, but not exactly a “classic comp.”Great list!
I rarely get outside of the compressors that go in Sonar’s ProChannel. The CA-2A(an LA-2A emulation, obviously) works so nicely on vocals and mid-to-down tempo bass lines, that I haven’t used anything else even though I have almost all of the other plugins on the list! The PC76 U-Type employs classic FET design with very fast attack and analog-style warmth.
It’s modeled after a vintage, rack-mount, compressor(the Urei 1176) that uses transistors to emulate a valve sound and is generally used on single channel source material. In contrast, the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor is modeled after a built-in, VCA based, channel strip compressor and is able to be pushed hard and yet remain transparent on a wide variety of sources. What a helpful list! Good to see the Fabfilter ProC2 comp there.
I love the thing. I use mine every day for transparent narration: no music to hide artefacts!But of course the plugin handles music very well, too, with control of attack, release, hold, knee etc. And lookahead. Surely we can’t work without that one in the digital realm? Of course, you can make it overshoot if you want that for a creative purpose. And who wants to fiddle about with graphic knobs, and nostalgic backward-kicking meters!
ProC2 has a brilliant interface.No, I don’t have shares in the company, just grateful to them for outstanding design.
