WesAudio- ngBusComp - Next Generation Bus Compressor

Big IRON

With WesAudio’s ngBusComp you can select your output stage: electronically balanced for a transparent, modern sound; or choose transformer-balanced IRON mode for a beefy, authoritative vintage British console sound. The ngBusComp’s IRON mode uses makeup gain to drive the transformers, and a special output pad (IRON PAD) to attenuate the signal. The IRON PAD is a precise passive attenuator enabled in IRON mode that lets you drive the output transformer to taste for sweet, musical saturation.

Relative channel linking

The Left and Right channels of the ngBusComp can be linked or unlinked at any time. With relative channel linking, you can have different settings on both channels and still manage them in a relative way. You can work on a mid-side mix separately for each channel, but if you want to change the balance of the overall track, simply engage “parameter link” and both channels’ makeup gain will be adjusted relatively, maintaining the same relative volume relationship.

Use it for mastering

The ngBusComp is loaded with features that take it beyond the mix bus and into mastering territory. Left and right channels can be processed independently, in stereo, or mid side. Engaging the Parameter Link button changes any setting tweak you make on both channels by the same amount to keep the sonic character intact. And if you need to add some analog color to you track, the variable THD knob lets you bring in anything from mild to saturated with ease. Three memory settings give you instant access to instant recall of your favorite settings.
