Free Plugin - Analog Obsession BUSTERse ?

[Larry Shelby]

Here is big brother of "BUSTER" with tons of improvements and new features!

Classic console compressor with extra Filter and Transient sidechain options to dominate whole signal!

FEATURES

STEREO COMPRESSOR : Compressor Section

FLT : Filter Section

TR : Transient Section

CONTROL : Control section

Compressor Section

- THRESHOLD (dB) : +15 to -15

- ATTACK (ms) : 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30

- RELEASE (sec) : 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, Auto

- RATIO : 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10

- MAKE UP (dB) : 0 to 15

- MIX (%) : DRY to WET

Filter Section (Sidechain)

- HPF (Hz) : 20 to 500

- MID (~1500Hz) : -6dB to +6dB

- HF (~10kHz) : 0dB to -10dB *Will work like famous optical-tube compressor and help you to control high frequencies, better.

Transient Section (Sidechain)

- BOOST (dB) : 0 to 10 *While boosting attack, it will reduce decay/release of signal to make compressor more sensitive with only attacks/peaks.

- TILT (~1kHz Center) : -6dB to 6 dB *It's placed before BOOST to send only dedicated range to BOOST. So, BOOST will affect only given frequency range and will boost only this range's transients. If TILT is default, BOOST will affect overall transients.

- MIX (%) : DRY to WET *Will blend DRY and WET signal. After boosting transients, you can blend with DRY signal to keep reduced release of signal. When MIX in default position, TR is off. So, you can turn MIX knob to all the way up to engage TR section.

*EXT (External Sidechain) : When you engage EXT, sidechain circuit will listen incoming signal and you can stil use Filter and Transient sections on incoming signal.

Control Section

- MAIN : General Bypass

- TURBO : Turbo Mod *Turbo mod will help to compressor to affect whole signal range. Otherwise, compressor will focus on mid frequencies. This mod added to keep original sign of hardware.

- XFORMER : In/Out Transformers *If you engage XFORMER, in/out ICs will be replaced with transformer to balance it. This will affect to impedance, character, overall sound.

- ANALOG OBSESSION label is oversampling. Simply click it and engage 4x oversampling.

- Touchscreen support

- Resizable interface. Simple "Bottom Right Corner Handle" to resize. 50% to 200%.

*Resizing Tip: When you duplicate plug-in, it will remember current state of GUI size. But if you load new instance, it will be opened at default size. To get rid of this issue, simply follow these steps;

1. Open plug-in for the first time

2. Resize GUI according to your screen resolution or you liking before setting any knobs

3. Save this state as default preset with your DAW

Now, you will be able to load new instances with same size.

(If you want to go default size, simply double click to resize handle.)

I love this plugin. It’s my go-to mix bus compressor.
