Gem Comp76

Comp76 extends the features of the original hardware by combining the flexibility of the digital world with the distinct character of analog processing. This plugin offers:

• NEW in v2! Three revisions in one plugin: Choose between Rev. A (the older and warmer one), Rev. D (the classic “Low Noise” version), and Rev. F (modern, faster and crisper).
• Built-in Mid-Side Processing
• Built-in Parallel Compression
• NEW in v2! Low frequency sensitivity control
• NEW in v2! Harmonics amount control
• NEW in v2! Oversample control, including ultra-oversampling mode
• Hyper-realistic simulation of the original unit thanks to the 4th generation DSP technology
• Simulation of all transformers in the original unit
• Emulates the original All-buttons-in mode
• Low CPU usage (more than 1000 instances on a MacBook Pro Retina)
• Lots of presets designed in real mixing sessions
• Scribble Strips: take notes anywhere on the plugin panel
• Meter Calibration: calibrate the VU meters at 5 different sensibilities

Beyond the Original Hardware:

Comp76 extends the features of the original hardware by combining the flexibility of the digital world with the sound character of analog processing.

Model Selection:

Select between three different revisions: Rev. A (the older and warmer one), Rev. D (the classic “Low Noise” version), and Rev. F (modern, faster and crisper).

Sidechain Filter:

You can tweak a low-cut filter on the Sidechain to reduce the compressor sensitivity to low frequencies. The amount of harmonic generation can be controlled as well.

Parallel Compression:

Parallel compression is a powerful mixing technique which helps improve the overall impact of the track while leaving the transients intact. It is achieved by summing the compressor output to the original track.

Built-in Mid-Side Processing:

You can separately compress the mono and stereo elements of the track, using different compression settings for each. This gives you complete control of the dynamics: you can squeeze the stereo aspect to tighten the room mics and get an in-your-face drum sound.
