Description :
The clarity, richness and character of three high-quality analog compressors in your DAW
This dynamics processing module brings the clarity, expressiveness, and character of
world-class analog mastering tools to your digital workflow. Designed with precision and musicality in mind, it delivers
the superior sound Bettermaker is known for – faithfully reproducing 100% of the analog signal on the original
studio gear. Intuitive interfaces and customizable displays make it easy to achieve professional
analog compression – unless you like it that way.
High-quality VCA compression for every stage of production
The Bettermaker Mastering Compressor is highly versatile. Three different compression modes make
it a gluing compressor, a puncher, and a workhorse all in one. Switchable forward/reverse mode
provides even more compression options. This can make styles more edgy, musical, and straightforward,
or more precise, modern, and transparent.
BM Mode:
The most versatile and transparent of the modes. Bettermaker’s signature compressor style features a long attack,
variable knee, and super-smooth response. It’s ideal for mastering and pressing clear gloss glue.
SG Mode:
Iconic British bus compression style sound with wider and more flexible press and release times than
the original hardware. This sound is especially good on bus and drums.
DX Mode:
Modeled after a classic American unit, this mode is the most aggressive,
with a fast response and a sharp, energetic sound. Its bold edge works especially well on individual tracks
such as vocals, drums and guitars.
It fits perfectly into your signal chain
Get the most out of this versatile VCA with a streamlined workflow. Clean up your signal
with the built-in high-pass converter. Choose and customize three compression styles to suit your needs
with a variety of presets and customization options. Get instant control over your sound with a dedicated
sidechain section with audition function and a three-band Sidechain EQ. With external sidechain control,
you can easily use your own instruments.
Compression with Color and Symbols
Bettermaker also captures the full harmonic richness of the original hardware’s two independent color schemes.
Add warm, soft analog THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) distortion or aggressive analog
Zener clipping with even/odd switchable configurations for
additional harmonic effects.
Advanced Compression Controls
The many controls in this plugin make it easy to create specific sounds or experiment with them.
It features advanced compression ratio options (not found in the original hardware), flexible lap controls,
independent mid and side processing parameters, and more. Whether you’re preparing a full mix,
adding coherence to a drum kit, or enhancing a vocal track, you have all the powerful tools you need
to add precision, depth, and character to your sound.
Accurate, customizable monitoring
Dynamic, high-resolution displays for gain reduction, thresholds, and I/O levels show everything
you need for professional mastering. For those who value visual feedback, customizable displays let you
focus on the waveform. Connection instructions help you get the perfect setup.
High-quality analog compression audio has never been so accurate or so accessible.
