BUS-COMP

VCA Console-Style Bus Compressor

True Reproduction Of Console-Grade Bus Compression That Delivers The Sound Of Modern, Final Mixes

MSRP $799

  1. The Studio Sound Of Radio-Ready Mixes

    The BUS-COMP truly reproduces the signature sound of “big-console” mixes from the most prized large format solid-state boards. Like the original mix bus compressors found inside lauded consoles, BUS-COMP delivers accurate stereo compression with selectable analog color, favored by artists like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey and many more.

  2. Stereo Console-Grade Compression On Any Source

    Like the original, BUS-COMP adds the “glue” that is so sought after in professional recordings. Critical features include the ability to remove unruly bass in compression via the HPF knob, engage transformers to add more analog color, and an A/B switch to hear the compressor’s impact on your work. These controls combined with a 100% analog signal path and premium components instantly upgrade your final mixes and stereo bus processing.

  3. Applications

    *Add polish, glue, and air to final mixes to stand next to the legendary “big console” recordings.

The external sidechain input allows you to use the audio from a different source to determine when BUS-COMP applies compression. This is a powerful tool for many situations including De-essing, ducking vocals from backing tracks, and “gluing” bass guitar and kick drum tracks.
