![]() ![]() Acustica Audio ACQUA Tan (FREE)Ī nice simple VCA compressor from the nice people at Acustica. Thanks to Stuart Pringle for the help recording these! Here’s the dry drum track I’ll be using throughout. However, while there’s a plethora of decent native compressors, excellent options by Waves, AD and Slate Digital, I want to take a look at some compressors that wont break the bank. They can be used correctively or creatively and even radically change your sound. They can be transparent or add colour or audibly distort your signal. Coming in all different flavours, shapes and sizes, no two compressors are the same and it’s one effect I find I can never have too many of.Īt the heart of it, compressors work by reducing the dynamic range of an incoming signal. Our absolute favourite one was the GEM Comp76 v2 by Overloud because it offers the highest amount of control over the compressor's behaviour and tonality.īesides, the other extra features like a high pass filter, mid/side processing, and harmonic level controls make it an extremely efficient plug-in to add to your workflow.Outside of EQ there isn’t an audio effect I reach for more often than the trusty compressor. These compressors aren't usually good for your 2-buss, but they can deliver incredible results and quality enhancements all across a mix. To recap, here is the complete list of the best 1176 plugins:ġ176-style compressors are amazing to add aggressiveness to a source and are incredibly adaptable and simple to use, due to their few controls. The tone of the drums feels slightly fatter and fuller compared to the others. VC76 is pretty subtle but brings the midrange forward very nicely. It's very simple but still pretty effective. It also features both all buttons in and no buttons in modes and delivers a really nice gritty distortion that could really help make any signal more aggressive. Last but not least, the VC 76 by Native Instruments is another true-to-the-original model that offers you the same settings as the original unit but with a mix knob and sidechain with gain control. ![]()
