Big Blue Compressor Continuing where Big Blue Limiter left off, our upcoming addition to the Big Blue series is now firmly in beta testing. For those unfamiliar with the software lifecycle lingo: that means that the plugin is basically ready as far as we're concerned. So as we speak a select few--our faithful beta testers--get to put the plugin through its paces. Not just to find and eliminate any bugs that may still be lurking in there somewhere, but also to provide valuable feedback on the sound, the interface, and whatever else may need commenting on.



Just like the limiter the compressor is heavily inspired on the celebrated tube hardware of yesteryear--the Big Blue trademark is vintage sound, and this compressor more than delivers! But we also added some interesting features that greatly expand the sonic arsenal of this plugin. More traditional goodies like variable hard/soft knee, dry/wet mix, and mid/side operation, but also novel additions such as the ability to control the amount of overshoot of fast transients, stereo narrowing or widening, adjustable latency, and a separate preamp section like the one in Big Blue Limiter.

Unless anything catastrophic comes up it shouldn't be long... fingers crossed!
