FG-MU

The   FG-­‐Mu   is  the   most   colorful   and   complex   compressor   of   the  Virtual  Buss  Compressors  

collecKon.  The  the  saturaKon  and  Kming  behavior  as  well  as  the  gain  reducKon  structure  have  

been  custom  designed  and  inspired  from  several  vintage  compressors.  

This  allowed  unprecedented  creaKvity,  all  thought  in  the  respect  of  a  vintage  flavor,  solid  bass,  

warm  mids  and  glossy  highs.

The  complexity  of  the  design  and  the  richness  of  the  sound  is  obtained  with  a  very  simple  set  of  

controls.  Here,  there  is  no  raKo  se_ng  and  the  compression  amount  can  be  adjusted  with  the  

Threshold,  but  also  by   adjusKng  the  input  level.  The  saturaKon  behavior  will  interact  with  the  

Input   Gain,  the  Gain  ReducKon  and  the  Output  Gain,   so  it’s  a  great  tool  to  shape  the  sound  

using  those  three  parameters  in  concert.

The  Kming  behavior  is  very  different  from  the  FG-­‐Grey  and  FG-­‐MU,  as  the  dynamic  response  of  

harmonics  and   saturaKon   is  carefully   designed   and  tweaked  to   obtain   the  richest   transient  

response  and  true  analog   vibe. If   you  want   color,   warmth,   a  very   dynamic   and  interacKve  

response,  the  FG-­‐MU    is  for  you!

We  decided  that  offering   three  units  in  one  plug-­‐in,  each  with  a  very   different  response  and  

character,   was  the  best   way   to  offer   everything  that   a  mixing  or   mastering  engineer   would  

dream  about.  However,  we  wanted  to  make  sure  that   the  enKre  plug-­‐in  was  straigh•orward  

and  easy   to   use,   with  just   the  amount  of   control  needed  to  use  them   efficiently   in  the  mix  

stage.

 

Steven  and  I  worked  very  closely  as  we  have  in  the  past  to  combine  our  passion  and  experience,  

to  bring  you  the  best  of  both  worlds:  the  authenKc  analog  sound  mixed  with  a  limitless  digital  

creaKvity.
