We took the classic British discrete transformer and added some of its characteristics to the signal path.

We did a small mod to the circuit in our virtual model which I think youвЂ™ll really enjoy.

It has a way of being able to tighten and вЂgelвЂ™ the components of a mix in ways that can go from fairly transparent in auto-release mode, to very aggressive in manual mode. IвЂ™ve used the hardware model for many years but I never fully appreciated just how magnificent the piece is until studying it during the modeling process. The FG-GREY starts off with a very precise model of the classic British вЂњ4000 series console compressorвЂќ. But you can try cranking it all the way for an interesting effect! FG-GREY When you push the DRIVE knob, you get a beautiful punch and articulation of the transients, and you can control just how much you want, regardless of whether or not you use the makeup gain! Famous rock mixer Justin Netbank beta tested the FG-RED and loves the drive, suggesting вЂ6.6вЂ™ as the magic number. Howie Weinberg, the famous mastering engineer who has a studio on our campus, let us in on a little secret: He uses his RED not for compression, but just to use the output gain to get that amazing effect! So I decided to do something that the original unit cannotвЂ¦I put that output transformer effect on a knob called DRIVE. After more examination, we realized that this was due to a series of nonlinear reactions caused by the output transformer. The attack and auto-release work in an interesting way and are very musical, but the real magic we found was in the output section! We found that just pushing the makeup gain a few db did some insane things to the sound! A little push and things got a ton more punchy, fat, and aggressive. When Fabrice and I analyzed the RED, we found out that it was indeed a very unique beast. WOW! One of the clearest, punchiest sounding rock mixes IвЂ™d ever heard come out of my own speakers. The first thing I did was put it on my mix in the settings that Chris showed meвЂ¦ 1.5:1, attack around 10/11 oвЂ™clock, auto release, compressing just 2-3db tops. This was puzzling because I usually associated a faster attack with a loss of transient punch, but if youвЂ™ve heard ChrisвЂ™s mixes you know that they are the exact opposite of that! So being the classic gearslut, I bought one, (I got the unit with both input and output transformers). I thought it was odd actually: here was this compressor that nobody else seemed to really use, and it was on a setting at 1.5:1 and the attack looked very fast for a Mix-Buss compressor. This compressor is based on the classic RED-faced compressor that has been a favorite of mix legend Chris Lord Alge, who first showed it to me when I visited his studio years ago.

VBC is perfect for adding a professional final touch to your mixes. Careful attention was paid to recreating the unique nonlinearities of the circuit paths that give each compressor its distinct tone вЂ“ including their transformers, tubes, VCAвЂ™s, amplifiers, phase distortions, harmonic distortions and timing. Virtual Buss Compressors is a suite of three unique-sounding dynamic processors that are modeled from some of the most classic mix buss compressors in the audio industry.
