Compression Curves, Not Curveballs!
The Blitzer Compressor and Limiter plug-in by Solid State Logic bases its impressive virtual compressing capabilities on prized models of years past, including the Universal Audio 1176 and LA-2A units. From minute compression with subtle coloration to the harshest, full-blown limiting you can concoct, the Blitzer is the tool to get the job done. A selection of 10 individually shaped and sculpted compression curves and ratios provide classic tube-driven responsiveness across a UI that’s an absolute cinch to navigate — perfect for producers of all stripes! An array of parameters — such as Auto Gain, Mix, Drive, Attack, and Release — engage everything from warm, tube tonal saturation to compression response. Effortlessly equalize sidechain buses and even throw things into Blitz! mode to unleash an unprecedented “all-in-one” energy for your project at hand. With the Blitzer Compressor and Limiter plug-in at your fingertips, you can say goodbye to compression curveballs and hello to your fast track to versatile operation for optimized mixing and mastering sessions.

Pertinent parameter layout
Solid State Logic kept the controls of the Blitzer simple to navigate yet detailed enough to cater to projects of virtually any kind. Once you’ve established your fitting compression Ratio and Transient setting, dial in a bit (or a lot!) of Drive to give your sound some analog character or totally limited decimation. You can level parallel compression and presence with the Mix control or use Auto Gain to keep your levels fixed to your selected Ratio and threshold. Feeling rowdy? Switch on Blitz! and inject your project with mic-slamming chaos! And in terms of responsiveness, the dedicated Attack and Release dials determine how your compression or limiting effect will interact with your tracks.
Additionally, you’ll find a Detection Sidechain at the bottom module of the user interface. Here, you can use the High Pass filter to rule out low frequency intrusions from inhibiting your finely crafted compression effect, which is tailor-made for booming areas of the mix such as drum buses. You’ve also got your say over Frequency, Bandwidth, and Gain leveling, making for an ultra-convenient means for keeping tabs on harsh points in vocal takes and more. And speaking of convenience, the final tier of the Blitzer houses Undo, Redo, and helpful A/B comparison buttons, along with a preset library to give you exceptional handpicked starting points from Solid State Logic.
