Description:
The most accurate emulation of a modern, yet legendary, tube compressor/limiter—the perfect glue for mixing and mastering
Overview. Variably biased tube compressors provide smooth, transparent gain control and seamlessly glue buses, mixes, and masters together.
Unfortunately, the original hardware is expensive and difficult to integrate with in-box workflows. Software emulations exist, but most hardware owners agree that they can’t be compared to the original unit, as something is always missing.
Thanks to its unique topology-preserving technology, the Pulsar VM-Comp sounds objectively identical to the hardware in all production contexts, but also introduces improvements such as visual sidechain EQ editing and expanded time ranges.
■ Sounds objectively identical to hardware
■ Proprietary “glue” compression on buses and masters
■ Full sidechain EQ, look-forward and look-behind
■ Zero latency for tracking/oversampling for mixing
■ 100+ presets and modern analyzers
