AERO-COMP
Brilliant, detailed, energetic and warm. All at the access of one knob.
Space-age sonic saturator / tri-band upward compressor / tone-shaper
AERO-COMP
More detail. Not just more brightness.
AERO-COMP is a modern, sophisticated tri-band upward compressor, intelligently weighted to the ear's sense of clarity. It lifts the musical qualities and information already in your track, and leaves your existing transients intact.
Non-linear, op-amp-style console saturation brings out detail and warmth, while next-gen resonance suppression pulls back only the resonances that cause masking and mud. The result opens up without simply getting brighter.
One control
Every stage.
Every stage.
One knob.
Compression, saturation and resonance control were tuned together, carefully and by ear, so they interact musically as one move. Turn it until it sounds right, then get back to the mix. It's the fastest route to a finished, product-ready sound.
What's inside
Four processes behind one control
Dynamics
Tri-band upward compression
Raises low-level detail in each band instead of squashing peaks, weighted to what the ear hears as clarity.
Color
Console saturation
Non-linear, op-amp-style circuits add warmth and density that build gently as you turn up.
Clarity
Resonance suppression
Targets only the resonances that cause masking or muddy information. Everything musical stays put.
Level
Advanced auto-gain
Holds perceived output volume steady at every setting, so you hear the tone and not the level.
Auto-gain
No louder-is-better.
AERO-COMP keeps its perceived loudness matched to your input. Flip bypass at any setting and you're comparing sound, not volume, so you can dial in exactly the intensity you want and trust what you hear.
From a whisper to a reshape
Knob position
Low settings
Mastering
Extremely subtle amounts across a full mix open up detail and add cohesion without changing the balance you already approved.
Higher settings
Single instruments
Push it further on vocals, drums, guitars or synths for stronger tone shaping. Bring a part forward with more bite, warmth and clarity.
