COMP-4K-BUS is the gold standard of mix bus compression. Originally featured on the master bus of an iconic series of 80s British consoles, this unit is capable of bringing together instruments and performances from various sources into one larger-than-life, cohesive whole.

COMP-4K-BUS belongs on the Master track. Start mixing right into it or use it after everything else in the mix is ‘said and done’. In both cases, this 80s-inspired plugin will glue it together and turn it into a balanced, homogeneous production with the much-desired vintage punch.

Music has evolved over the past decades and so have the tools we use to shape it. Sub-low frequencies often play a vital part in modern music and present the danger of triggering the bus compressor, which often results in an over-compressed mix. To prevent that and to meet the needs of modern producers and engineers we have included a sweepable SideChain Filter.

Other than mix bus applications this compressor has also proven itself as a powerful parallel processor. To accommodate the so-called New York-style compression the COMP-4K-BUS is equipped with a “Mix” knob that can determine the blend between the compressed and unprocessed signal, which expands its versatility beyond the mix bus.
