7. Duende Stereo Bus Compressor

Introduction

The Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the legendary bus compressor found on the XL 9000 K Series console. It provides high quality stereo compression, giving you critical control over the dynamic range of audio signals.

Uses may include inserting the bus compressor over a stereo mix which has the effect of 'gluing' the mix together whilst still maintaining a big sound. The dynamics of drum overheads or whole drum kits can be controlled very effectively with the bus compressor . As it is available as either a stereo or mono plug-in the bus compressor can be used for practically any application that requires superior compression.
