Chapter 17: Slightly Rude Compressor
Slightly Rude Compressor is a dynamics pro-
cessing plug-in that is available in TDM, RTAS,
and AudioSuite formats.
The Slightly Rude Compressor is the first com-
pletely custom compressor designed by Bomb
Factory. Used conservatively, it sounds beauti-
ful on vocals, drums, guitars, and piano. Pushed
hard, it's unique and aggressive. The stereo ver-
sion is specifically designed to solve the prob-
lems that often plague digital mixes.

Controls
The Slightly Rude Compressor is not based on
any specific piece of vintage hardware. It is a
completely custom design that features all of
Bomb Factory’s knowledge and expertise in the
realm of digital compression.
Slightly Rude Compressor provides the follow-
ing controls:
Input Amount Sets the input level to the unit and
the compression threshold, just like the Input
control on an 1176. Full clockwise is loudest.
Make-Up Gain Adds gain after compression. It
works just like the Gain control on an LA-2A.
Release Time Adjusts the release time; full
clockwise is fastest and provides the most
“pump.”
Rudeness Affects the sound of the compression
action.
Slightly Rude/Super Rude Switch Affects the
sound of the compression action.
