High Frequency Smoothing, Analogue Rounding

The Fusion HF Compressor plug-in emulates the high frequency smoothing circuit from the critically acclaimed SSL Fusion stereo analogue colouration processor, bringing the much sought after sound of analogue rounding to your DAW.

Tape like roll-off, smooth compression and maximum transparency, the HF Compressor plug-in gives you the ability to tame harsh, brittle high frequencies, creating a smooth and refined top-end on your stems, mixes and masters, quickly and easily.

Use the ‘X-Over’ to fine tune the frequencies which HF Compressor effects, dial in the right amount via Threshold and quickly ‘Mix’ it with the original signal or use ‘Auto Gain’ to bring the rounded HF signal back to its original level. HF Compressor can soothe any source material without losing detail or presence.
