Legendary sound of Stereo Bus compressor has been true companion on countless recordings since 40 years. Often recognized as \u201cmixbus glue\u201d, this particular compression sound have become industry standard. Now, we improve this design creating whole new level of versitality with unbeliveble modern DAW integration \u2013
\nWe present ngBusComp \u2013 fully analog, dual mono, stereo, mid-side compressor, with digital recall.<\/em><\/p>\n

MAIN FEATURES<\/h2>\n

TRUE QUAD VCA THAT 2181<\/strong><\/p>\n

First and most important point \u2013\u00a0ngBusComp\u00a0is 100%\u00a0analog device with +24dBu of headroom.<\/strong>
\nRegardless its digital control nature, fully analog signal path provides top VCA\u00a0compression sound.<\/p>\n

Four THAT 2181 VCA in signal chain,\u00a0and one in side chain detector for each channel!<\/p>\n

\n

STEREO \/ DUAL MONO compression!<\/strong><\/p>\n

ngBusComp detectors can be linked and unlinked anytime \u2013 what allows us true bus compression behavior, as dual mono compression when needed!<\/p>\n

\n

True ANALOG sound with extremely convenient control!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relative channel linking!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Channels can be linked\/unlinked anytime! It is allowed to have different settings on both channels and still manage those in a relative way!<\/p>\n

We can work on Mid-Side mix separately for each channel, but if we would like to change ballance of whole track, it is enough to engage \u201cparameter link\u201d and both channels Make Up gain will be adjusted relatively keeping same amount of volume difference!<\/p>\n

MID-SIDE operation mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

ngBusComp supports mid-side opeartion, you can give your side channel<\/p>\n

diffferent compression settings then middle channel!<\/p>\n

SELECTABLE OUTPUT CIRCUIT \u2013 CHOOSE YOUR SIDE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With ngBusComp you can select your output stage to be either<\/p>\n

electronically balanced,<\/p>\n

or transformer balanced with preceise output PAD!<\/p>\n

Drive Carnhill transformers!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In IRON mode it is possible to use Make up gain\u00a0to drive the transformers, and special output PAD allow to turn signal down!
\nPAD \u2013 passive attenuator managed via relay cascade up to 15dB with 1dB step.<\/p>\n

MIX KNOB FOR PARALLEL COMPRESSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

With MIX knob at your disposal, parallel compression has never been simpler to achieve!<\/p>\n

With\u00a0ngBusComp\u00a0your MIX setting can be automated in your DAW, ever wanted to push your compressor harder in chorus? Nothing simpler! Just record automation using touch sensitive encoder, or draw your automation lines in DAW!<\/p>\n

Proprietary THD implementation with very detailed variable control!<\/strong><\/p>\n

THD stands for \u201cTotal harmonic distortion\u201d and it allows to saturate your signal with beautiful analog color. For ngBusComp it can be dialed in very gently or very appearent thanks to variable control with dedicated knob!<\/p>\n

PREDEFINED SIDE CHAIN FILTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

ngBusComp Side chain filter functionality allows to modify signal going into the compressor\u2019s detector.<\/p>\n

It includes 3 high pass filters at 60,90 and 150 Hz, and 2 tilt filters which are special \u201ccurve\u201d designed filters.<\/p>\n

FIVE RATIO SETTINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

ngBusComp<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0provides selectable ratios of 1.5:1\u00a0and 2:1 for gentle mixbus processing, 4:1 and 10:1\u00a0for large variety of applications, and INF\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>mode \u2013 to hit and crash your transients!<\/p>\n

External Side chain!<\/strong><\/p>\n

ngBusComp allows to create custom side chain signal to control each channel of compressor!<\/p>\n

HARDWARE A\/B\/C<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even using\u00a0ngBusComp as pure analog signal processor you can easily switch between\u00a0three<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0memory settings with a magic of a simple buttons.<\/p>\n

USB or Ethernet connectivity!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

ngBusComp supports direct USB connection, or you can also managed it in your local network,<\/p>\n

just plug in ethernet cable to Your router!<\/p>\n

Detailed metering!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each channel shows detail metering \u2013 IN \/ OUT and Gain reduction!<\/p>\n

Of course analog metering is forwared to plug-in instance!<\/p>\n

TOTAL RECALL AND PLUGIN CONTROL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with classic analog compressor You receive most demanded feature in audio industry \u2013 TOTAL RECALL.<\/p>\n

Full plugin control through VST2\/VST3\/AU\/AAX\/AAX DSP \u2013 makes ngBusComp compatible with most, if not all major DAWs.<\/p>\n

Total integration with your beloved DAW will change your workflow forever!<\/p>\n

ANALOG AUTOMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure all of us wanted to use different device settings based on song section. Now it is possible! Just draw automation lines in your DAW and your analog device will follow!<\/p>\n

And remember, you can use four<\/strong>touch sensitive encoders<\/strong> to record automation TO your DAW!<\/p>\n
