‘Based on’ a compressor design with a revered ancestry, and very strong ties to one of the most popular current compressors out there (typically viewed as a bus comp but equally good in mixes and for mastering), these programs are super versatile and can provide tone/compression characteristics from ‘vintage’ to ‘modern’ and anything in between. Fully adjustable attack control, from fast, almost instant (can be instant with a tiny bit of look-ahead), to pretty slow 200+ ms attacks (which the hardware can’t do), which I personally almost never use but they’re there! I put extra effort into getting the attack shape just right, using some really hacky methods with Nebula’s programming to achieve attacks that are like what the hardware does.
There are separate hard and soft knee programs, as well as a bonus set of ‘variable knee’ programs which include a control that allows you to transition between hard and soft. These variable knee programs use more CPU than the others though, and should be considered a bonus (the stand alone hard and soft knee programs are the main product).
You also get programs (for all knees) using feedback or feedforward detection modes, and 50/50 versions using a bit of both. The many possible combinations of detection modes and knee shapes allow you to get results from ‘vintage’ to ‘modern’, and in between, for a huge range of possibilities.
You can check out the manual from the tab above, for more info.
Last but not least, this library comes with excellent custom skins by Max Ponomaryov, aka azzimov (who also helped with testing)!
