Baby Audio Parallel Aggressor offers a powerful approach to mixing, enabling you to enhance your tracks with parallel saturation and compression all within a single plugin. By splitting your audio into three independent copies—”Spank,” “Heat,” and “Dry”—you can creatively balance these signals to achieve greater impact and punch without sacrificing the dynamics of your original recording.
Parallel processing is essential for achieving a professional mix sound. With the Parallel Aggressor, this technique is effortless; it hosts all duplicated audio internally, calibrated for instant impact. Use “Spank” for punchy parallel compression, “Heat” for rich saturation, and the “Dry” setting for your clean audio. This powerful combination allows you to really squeeze each track to get the most out of your audio.
Key Features:
- Parallel Engine 1: Spank: An addictively punchy parallel compression sound. Control the effect amount with the main “Spank” wheel and use style injection buttons for extra punch, smack, sidechain filtering, and mono summing.
- Parallel Engine 2: Heat: A warm, analog modeled saturation effect that adds rich harmonics. Adjust the intensity with the main “Heat” wheel, and refine with style options including extra hot, tone adjustments, and high/low pass filters.
- Auto Gain: Ensures that the combined output levels match the dry input, allowing for consistent mixing and experimentation.
- Volume Faders: Balance each of the three signals effectively within the plugin interface.
- Display Options: Switch between black, gray, and white backgrounds for visual comfort.
The Parallel Aggressor also comes with 25 presets from renowned producers, enabling quick starts for your projects. It supports major DAWs including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, and more.
