Slate Digital Virtual Buss Compressors - Manual (Page 7)

FG-MU
I've
been
lucky
enough
to
hear
some
of
the
most
classic
tube
based
buss
compressors
such
as
the
Fairchild
670
and
Manley
Vari
Mu.
There
is
some
real
magic
that
happens
when
your
mix
goes
through
a
brilliantly
designed
piece
of
tube
gear.
The
midrange
thickens,
the
lows
get
Kghter
and
rounder,
and
the
top
end
opens
up
with
a
beauKful
sparkle...
and
even
beSer,
those
harsh
upper
mid
overtones
seems
to
get
tamed.
For
the
FG-­‐MU,
we
put
all
of
these
wonderful
qualiKes
into
the
algorithm.
First
and
foremost,
to
hear
the
FG-­‐MU,
you
don't
even
have
to
do
any
compression.
Just
going
through
the
processor
without
any
gain
reducKon
will
inhibit
a
beauKful
open
sound
due
to
the
modeling
of
the
tube
circuit
path.
Even
when
I'm
using
the
FG-­‐
GREY
or
FG-­‐RED,
I
love
using
the
VBC
Rack
just
so
I
can
have
the
audio
pass
through
the
FG-­‐MU!
But
on
it's
own,
the
FG-­‐MU
is
an
amazing
sounding
compressor.
If
you
scan
through
the
presets,
you
can
get
a
great
idea
of
what
its
capable
of.
Smooth
rich
compression,
fat
warm
compression,
and
even
slightly
aggressive
compression.
But
overall,
this
is
a
processor
that
has
tons
of
analog
mojo
and
vibe
for
days.
A
sure
hit
on
your
ITB
mixes!
The Rack
While
all
three
compressors
are
available
as
separate
plug-­‐ins
in
your
DAW,
you
can
also
use
them
in
our
Virtual
Buss
Compressors
Rack
plug-­‐in,
in
which
they
can
be
chained,
reordered
via
drag
and
drop
of
the
u-­‐rack
handles,
and
soloed
independently.
