Here's another great plug-in from McDSP that gives Pro Tools LE users access to world-class processing. CompressorBank is six plugs in one, all of which give you total control of dynamics processing. McDSP CompressorBank LE at a Glance:
- Six plug-ins offering complete control of dynamic compression
- Side-chain support in all modes
- Emulate your favorite vintage gear with Compression Curve Modeling
- Includes dynamic EQ at output
- Multiple peak detection circuit models
Six plug-ins offering complete control of dynamics compression CompressorBank is made up of six plug-ins that cover all of your compression needs. Three different modules: basic compression (CB1), compression with pre-filtering (CB2), and compression with pre-filtering and static/dynamic EQ (CB3) - are all offered in mono and stereo versions. Each type offers Output (make-up gain), Threshold, Compression (Ratio), Attack, and Release controls. Plus, Compressorbank LE provides non-standard Knee and Bite controls to allow unique articulation of compression characteristics. Side-chain support in all modes This is a compression essential! CompressorBank LE provides side-chain support in all configurations. Side-chain pre-filtering (high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass, and parametric EQ) is also available. The pre-filter can be placed in-line and applied to the compressed signal. Emulate your favorite vintage gear with Compression Curve Modeling In addition to CompressorBank's standard Threshold and Compression (Ratio) controls, you can adjust the actual shape and response of the compression curve 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 you to emulate responses of your favorite vintage gear! Multiple peak detection circuit models Every compressor uses a model to detect and track signal peaks and then apply dynamic compression. CompressorBank offers three variations of basic models:
- Type 1: pure peak detection
- Type 2: pure peak detection combined with adaptive release times, plus a secondary release control
- Auto: signal levels are automatically tracked
Includes dynamic EQ at output McDSP uses technology from their popular FilterBank Plug-In (including analog saturation modeling), to provide static/dynamic parametric EQ that can be applied to the compressor output, making possible effects such as signal enhancement, noise reduction, and harmonic distortion. McDSP CompressorBank LE Features:
- RTAS/AudioSuite version of popular CompressorBank plug-in
- Basic compression, compression with pre-filtering and dynamic EQ available
- Special Knee and Bite controls allow you to shape the compression curve
- Compression Curve Modeling for emulating vintage gear
- Side-chain support
- Multiple peak detection models
- Parametric output EQ for additional tonal shaping
- Analog saturation modeling on each band prevents digital clipping
McDSP CompressorBank LE is pro-grade compression at a modest price!
