Virtual Buss Compressors
Virtual
Buss
Compressors
comprises
three
unique
sounding,
100%
analog
modeled
dynamic
processors
that
are
ideal
for
program
material.
Every
nuance
of
real
analog
compressors
has
been
modeled;
including
the
exact
nonlinear
characterisKcs
of
their
transformers,
tubes,
VCAs,
amplifiers,
phase
distorKons,
harmonic
distorKons,
and
Kming.
The Compressors
All
of
the
compressors
in
the
VBC
bundle
have
a
variable
hi-­‐pass
filter
AND
a
mix
knob
that
can
be
used
to
control
the
raKo/percentage
of
the
compressed
signal
to
the
dry
signal.
Each
compressor
can
be
used
in
series,
and
the
series
rearranged
by
dragging
and
dropping
(see
informaKon
on
“The
Rack”).
Compressing
a
mix
with
each
one
doing
a
very
liSle
amount
can
sound
amazing!
And,
using
the
compressors
in
series
within
the
‘Rack’
also
makes
it
very
easy
to
A/B/C
the
compressors
on
source
material.
Finally,
VBC
will
come
with
stock
presets
made
by
some
of
the
industry's
top
mixers.
FG-Grey
The
FG-­‐GREY
starts
off
with
a
very
precise
model
of
the
classic
BriKsh
"4000
series
console
compressor".
I've
used
the
hardware
model
for
many
years
but
unKl
studying
the
unit
in
the
modeling
process,
I
never
fully
appreciated
just
how
magnificent
the
piece
is.
It
has
a
way
of
being
able
to
Kghten,
glue,
and
'gel'
the
components
of
the
mix
in
ways
that
can
go
from
fairly
transparent
in
auto
release
mode,
to
very
aggressive
in
manual
mode.
We
did
a
small
mod
to
the
circuit
in
our
virtual
model
which
I
think
you'll
really
enjoy.
We
took
the
classic
BriKsh
discrete
transformer
and
added
some
of
the
characterisKcs
to
the
signal
path.
This
does
something
very
amazing
to
the
clarity
of
the
midrange
and
boSom
end.
The
hardware
unit
tends
to
start
sucking
out
too
much
boSom
as
you
start
to
compress
more.
It
can
also
get
slightly
'choked'
in
the
mids.
These
are
subtle
issues
but
the
transformer
stage
keeps
the
boSom
big
and
round
and
the
midrange
more
open,
while
sKll
retaining
the
classic
sound
of
the
hardware
unit.
You'll
noKce
especially
when
you
heavily
compress
with
the
FG-­‐GREY,
there
is
a
bit
less
of
a
drop
in
the
boSom
and
the
rich
mids
will
sKll
be
nice
and
present.
I
love
the
FG-­‐
GREY
in
both
manual
and
auto
mode,
and
it's
amazing
on
drums
and
guitars
too!
