WesAudio’s Vari-Mu Masterpiece
Since the 1960s, engineers and producers have lionized vari-mu compression not only for the uniquely effective program-dependent dynamics control it offers, but also for its ability to infuse their recordings with warmth and character. Seamlessly integrating refined analog tube circuitry with cutting-edge digital technology, the WesAudio ngTubeComp builds on this time-honored operating principle to provide a luxe sound-sculpting experience with the accuracy and expedience of modern digital recall. Whether you’re working in stereo, dual-mono, or mid-side, ngTubeComp delivers unprecedented flexibility and control. Leverage the harmonious fusion of lush tonal richness and state-of-the-art functionality with ngTubeComp, an indispensable studio tool you will soon come to cherish as a fine musical instrument.

WesAudio: 100% analog, full digital control
WesAudio, a company masterminded by Radoslaw Wesolowski and headquartered in Poland, spearheaded an initiative titled “ng,” which stands for next-generation. The company’s first ng products were designed around 500 Series modules with a special connector that mates with receiver connectors in the company’s _TITAN NG500 Recall chassis. On its rear panel, the _TITAN is fitted with a USB jack for connection to your computer, as well as Ethernet for networked setups. All ng500-compatible modules in the rack are able to communicate with your computer via a single data cable. The ng program was then extended to 19-inch rack equipment. The gear — both 500 Series and rackmount — includes free downloadable software that appears in your DAW session as a standard plug-in and lets you control your analog hardware with software precision. Every setting and automation move is saved along with your DAW session file. How cool is that? Engineers at Sweetwater are deeply into the concept: an elegant marriage of hardware and software designed for modern hybrid analog/digital workflows.
