7. Duende Stereo Bus Compressor
Introduction
The Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the
legendary bus compressor found on the XL 9000 K Series console.
It provides high quality stereo compression, giving you critical
control over the dynamic range of audio signals.
Uses may include inserting the bus compressor over a stereo mix
which has the effect of 'gluing' the mix together whilst still
maintaining a big sound. The dynamics of drum overheads or
whole drum kits can be controlled very effectively with the bus
compressor . As it is available as either a stereo or mono plug-in
the bus compressor can be used for practically any application
that requires superior compression.
