64bit VST2+VST3+AAX

Slate石板 数字虚拟总线压缩机是一套由三个声音听起来独特的动态处理器组成的套件，这些处理器以音频行业中一些最经典的混合总线压缩器为模型。要特别注意重新创建电路路径的独特非线性，这些非线性赋予每个压缩机不同的音调-包括其变压器，电子管，VCA，放大器，相位失真，谐波失真和时序。VBC非常适合为您的混音添加专业的最终修饰。

FG红
该压缩器基于经典的RED面压缩器，该混合器曾是混合传奇人物Chris Lord Alge的最爱，他在几年前我参观他的工作室时就向我展示了它。我认为这实际上很奇怪：这是没有其他人真正使用过的压缩机，它的设置为1.5：1，对于混合总线压缩机而言，攻击看起来非常快。这令人感到困惑，因为我通常将更快的攻击与短暂的打击相联系，但是，如果您听过Chris的混音，您会知道它们恰恰相反！因此，作为经典的Gearslut，我买了一个（我的设备同时带有输入和输出变压器）。我所做的第一件事是在Chris告诉我的设置中将其混合使用……1.5：1，在10/11点左右发动攻击，自动释放，仅压缩2-3db顶部。和…。哇！最清晰的之一 我听过的最强烈的混音来自我自己的扬声器。这个单位太棒了！！！

当我和Fabrice分析RED时，我们发现它确实是非常独特的野兽。攻击和自动释放以一种有趣的方式工作，非常有音乐性，但是我们发现的真正魔力在输出部分！我们发现，仅将化妆效果提高几分贝就可以使声音发疯！稍加推动，事情就会变得更加棘手，发胖并且更具侵略性。经过更多检查，我们意识到这是由输出变压器引起的一系列非线性反应引起的。著名的母带工程师Howie Weinberg在我们的校园里设有工作室，这让我们知道了一个秘密：他不使用RED进行压缩，而只是使用输出增益来获得惊人的效果！因此，我决定做一些原始装置无法做的事情……我将输出变压器效果放在一个称为DRIVE的旋钮上。当您按下DRIVE旋钮时，您可以获得漂亮的冲击力和瞬态清晰度，无论您是否使用妆容增益，都可以控制想要的大小！著名的摇滚调音台Justin Netbank beta测试了FG-RED并喜欢这款硬盘，建议将“ 6.6”作为神奇的数字。但是您可以尝试将其全部启动以获得有趣的效果！

FG-GREY
FG-GREY以非常精确的经典英国“ 4000系列控制台压缩机”模型开始。我已经使用硬件模型很多年了，但是直到在建模过程中对其进行研究之前，我从未完全理解它的宏伟程度。它具有一种能够以从自动释放模式下相当透明的状态到手动模式下非常激进的方式收紧和“混合”混合物成分的方式。

我们在虚拟模型中对电路做了一个小的修改，我想您会很喜欢的。我们采用了经典的英国分立变压器，并将其某些特性添加到了信号路径中。这对于中端和底端的清晰度而言确实令人惊讶，因为随着压缩的开始，硬件单元往往会开始吸收过多的底部。硬件单元也可以在中途稍微被“ cho住”，但是我们的虚拟变压器台使底部大而圆，中频更加开放，同时仍保留了原始单元的经典声音。您会注意到，底部的下降很少，并且当您使用FG-GREY进行大量压缩时，丰富的中段仍然会很好地呈现-我在手动和自动模式下都喜欢它，并且在鼓和吉他！

FG-MU
我很幸运地听到并使用了地球上一些最经典，最难找到的管状巴士压缩机（例如Fairchild 670和Manley Vari Mu），让我告诉你，有一些真正的魔力当您的混合料经过精心设计的管状齿轮时，就会发生这种情况。中音变厚，低点变得更紧密和圆润，高端打开时发出美丽的火花……更好的是，那些刺耳的中高泛音似乎也被驯服了。对于FG-MU，我们将所有这些出色的品质都纳入了算法。第一次体验FG-MU时，您甚至不需要做任何压缩，因为通过电子管电路路径的建模，只要不加任何增益降低地通过处理器，就会显示出优美的开放声音。即使使用FG-GREY或FG-RED，

但是FG-MU本身就是一款令人赞叹的压缩机。如果您浏览预设，您将了解其功能。平滑丰富的压缩，脂肪温暖的压缩，甚至略微剧烈的压缩。总体而言，这是一种具有数天的模拟mojo和氛围的处理器。您的ITB组合必定会受到打击！

Virtual Buss Compressors is a suite of three unique-sounding dynamic processors that are modeled from some of the most classic mix buss compressors in the audio industry. Careful attention was paid to recreating the unique nonlinearities of the circuit paths that give each compressor its distinct tone – including their transformers, tubes, VCA’s, amplifiers, phase distortions, harmonic distortions and timing. VBC is perfect for adding a professional final touch to your mixes.

FG-RED
This compressor is based on the classic RED-faced compressor that has been a favorite of mix legend Chris Lord Alge, who first showed it to me when I visited his studio years ago. I thought it was odd actually: here was this compressor that nobody else seemed to really use, and it was on a setting at 1.5:1 and the attack looked very fast for a Mix-Buss compressor. This was puzzling because I usually associated a faster attack with a loss of transient punch, but if you’ve heard Chris’s mixes you know that they are the exact opposite of that! So being the classic gearslut, I bought one, (I got the unit with both input and output transformers). The first thing I did was put it on my mix in the settings that Chris showed me… 1.5:1, attack around 10/11 o’clock, auto release, compressing just 2-3db tops. And…. WOW! One of the clearest, punchiest sounding rock mixes I’d ever heard come out of my own speakers. This unit was amazing!!!

When Fabrice and I analyzed the RED, we found out that it was indeed a very unique beast. The attack and auto-release work in an interesting way and are very musical, but the real magic we found was in the output section! We found that just pushing the makeup gain a few db did some insane things to the sound! A little push and things got a ton more punchy, fat, and aggressive. After more examination, we realized that this was due to a series of nonlinear reactions caused by the output transformer. Howie Weinberg, the famous mastering engineer who has a studio on our campus, let us in on a little secret: He uses his RED not for compression, but just to use the output gain to get that amazing effect! So I decided to do something that the original unit cannot…I put that output transformer effect on a knob called DRIVE. When you push the DRIVE knob, you get a beautiful punch and articulation of the transients, and you can control just how much you want, regardless of whether or not you use the makeup gain! Famous rock mixer Justin Netbank beta tested the FG-RED and loves the drive, suggesting ‘6.6’ as the magic number. But you can try cranking it all the way for an interesting effect!

FG-GREY
The FG-GREY starts off with a very precise model of the classic British “4000 series console compressor”. I’ve used the hardware model for many years but I never fully appreciated just how magnificent the piece is until studying it during the modeling process. It has a way of being able to tighten and ‘gel’ the components of a mix in ways that can go from fairly transparent in auto-release mode, to very aggressive in manual mode.

We did a small mod to the circuit in our virtual model which I think you’ll really enjoy. We took the classic British discrete transformer and added some of its characteristics to the signal path. This does something amazing to the clarity of the midrange and bottom end, where the hardware unit tends to start sucking out too much bottom as you start to compress more. The hardware unit can also get slightly ‘choked’ in the mids as well, but our virtual transformer stage keeps the bottom big and round and the midrange more open, while still retaining the classic sound of the original unit. You’ll notice that there is a bit less of a drop in the bottom and the rich mids will still be nice and present when you heavily compress with the FG-GREY – I love it in both manual and auto mode, and it’s amazing on drums and guitars too!

FG-MU
I’ve been lucky enough to hear and use some of the most classic and hard-to-find tube buss compressors on the planet (like the Fairchild 670 and Manley Vari Mu), and let me tell you, there is some real magic that happens when your mix goes through a brilliantly-designed piece of tube gear. The midrange thickens, the lows get tighter and rounder, and the top end opens up with a beautiful sparkle… even better, those harsh upper mid overtones seems to get tamed too. For the FG-MU, we put all of these wonderful qualities into the algorithm. To experience FG-MU for the first time you don’t even have to do any compression, as just going through the processor without any gain reduction will reveal a beautiful open sound due to the modeling of the tube circuit path. Even when I’m using the FG-GREY or FG-RED, I love using the VBC Rack just so I can have the audio pass through the FG-MU!

But the FG-MU is an amazing-sounding compressor in its own right. If you scan through the presets, you’ll get a great idea of what its capable of. Smooth rich compression, fat warm compression, and even slightly aggressive compression. Overall, this is a processor that has tons of analog mojo and vibe for days. A sure hit on your ITB mixes!
