Circuit Modelling and DSPĬytomic uses the same circuit modelling techniques that are used in professional circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. As well as the detailed circuit models more efficient algorithms are included for situations where CPU considerations are more important than tone, but even these models are of the highest quality. There is a huge level of detail in the models, which gives them amazing drive and tone. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. The Drop is an analog modeled resonant filter plug-in. There is also external sidechain support and an adjustable sidechain highpass filter. It's quick and easy to use and has an uncluttered interface. Additions over the original circuit include an ultra-fast attack time down to 0.01mS and a Range knob, which backs off the compression to give incredibly natural sounding attacks and also limit the maximum amount of compression applied. The Glue is an analog modeled compressor plug-in based on a classic 80's British big console buss compressor with some additional features. You may remember that back in July 2013 Andrew shared some behind the scenes insights into how a developer ports plug-ins across to the AAX platform. Well he has finished and so both of Andrew's plug-ins are now AAX 64 bit.

Finally, bypassing the compressor for comparison.A very relieved Andrew Simper has contacted us to let us know that he has finally got The Glue and The Drop released in AAX 64 bit versions that will work with Pro Tools 10 and above. Acoustic guitar: introducing quite heavy compression with medium attack and auto release, then blending back the dry signal using the mix control. Snare drum: starting with medium attack, fast release, adding compression then winding up the sidechain filter ending around 800Hz. Kick drum: starting with medium attack, fast release compression gradually winding up the sidechain filter ending at around 300Hz.ģ.

Finally, switching back to wet mix and between zero range (loud) and full range (compressed).Ģ. Then gradually easing back the range as well. Drum kit: starting with a basic 2:1 ratio, medium attack and release adding more compression by reducing the threshold until the sound is very squashed. Factor in the extra options and you have a very tidy and useful compressor with more real-world uses than the design it's based on. The Glue is a world-class plug-in and, at $99, we reckon it offers amazing value. Next up, both the Mix and Range controls add a host of options for dialling in the compression flavour, and in practice we found this made The Glue an incredibly flexible compressor suitable not just for use on the master bus, but for individual instruments too.įinally, the PeakClip option with its associated red LED is useful if used carefully, though it shouldn't be confused with analogue-style soft saturation, as it will produce harsh distortion if pushed too far. This works well at reducing pumping on mixes, but also helps with fine-tuning compression for low-end heavy sounds, such as basses and kick drums. So, what of the 'new' features? First up, the sidechain filter affects both internal and external sidechain signals and enables you to roll off low frequencies right up to 2kHz. On the bench, we set up a couple of our favourite SSL settings (subtle pumping mix compression with a 2:1 ratio and a more aggressive setting for drum kit processing), and both had that familiar sound, comparing very well to Universal Audio's 4K Buss Compressor. Threshold, makeup gain and the meter have also been given new names. However, there are some differences, including a super-fast 0.01ms attack option and extra release times (0.4 and 0.8s), while the original 0.3s release time is labelled here as 0.2s. If you're familiar with the SSL original, you'll recognise features such as 'auto' release, three possible compression ratios (2:1, 4:1 and 10:1) and the exact same attack times.
