Slightly Rude Compressor
Tips and Tricks
For a classic sound, use the “Slightly Rude” set-
ting and keep the Rudeness control below the
half-way point. Settings above 50% will increase
the aggressiveness of the compressed sound.
To achieve more dynamic effects, switch to the
“Super Rude” mode. In this mode, the Rudeness
knob controls the amount of overshoot in the
compressor. This results in a distinctive pro-
cessed sound on percussive material, especially
on piano and drums.
Try chaining the Slightly Rude Compressor ei-
ther before or after other compressors. Using
the Bomb Factory Fairchild 660 (or 670) or
Bomb Factory BF76 before or after the Slightly
Rude Compressor will give you an amazing vari-
ety of compression options—especially if you
experiment with the Super Rude mode.
Also be sure to try the Slightly Rude Compressor
on full mixes or stereo submixes! It adds the
“glue” that helps hold mixes together, some-
thing that’s often hard to achieve in the digital
domain.
