Tube Compressor
This versatile compressor with integrated tube-simulation allows you to achieve smooth and warm
compression effects.
The VU meter shows the amount of gain reduction. Tube Compressor features an internal side-chain
section that lets you filter the trigger signal.
VU Meter
Shows the amount of gain reduction.
[IN/OUT] Meters
Shows the highest peaks of all available input and output channels.
INPUT
Determines the compression amount. The higher the input gain, the more compression is applied.
DRIVE (1.0 to 6.0 dB)
Controls the amount of tube saturation.
OUTPUT (-12 to 12 dB)
Sets the output gain.
CHARACTER
Keeps the bass tight and preserves its attacks by decreasing the tube saturation for lower
frequencies, and adds brilliance by adding harmonics for higher frequencies.
ATTACK (0.1 to 100 ms)
Determines how fast the compressor responds. If the attack time is long, more of the early part
of the signal passes through unprocessed.
RELEASE (10 to 1000 ms or [Auto] mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level. If [Auto Release] is activated,
the plug-in automatically finds the best release setting for the audio material.
