Emulate and innovate dynamics processing
X-Comp is a sophisticated and extremely versatile stereo compressor that cuts through the mass of freeware and bundled plug-ins available with genuinely professional features, results and interface. The audio performance, specifications, analysis tools and depth of control offered by X-Comp are exemplary.
Delivering mastering grade audio fidelity with a distinctly analogue feel, X-Comp can be used for everything from ‘invisible’ subtle dynamic control for mastering, to dramatic ‘brick wall’ effects that inject raw energy and power that competes with the legendary SSL Listen Mic Compressor.
Between these two extremes X-Comp can reproduce the characteristics of a wide range of modern and classic vintage compressors, including much sought after OPTO, FET and Vari Mu types. In X-Comp we haven’t just modelled a particular compressor, but have provided a set of features and controls that allow the emulation of a broad range of compressor designs.
