Major Tom Description

Not your ordinary audio compressor Major Tom is not your ordinary compressor, no sir! It was designed with very specific goals in mind, and blew completely past them. Major Tom is intended to be easy to use: there are no attack and release controls the values vary depending on the level of the signal relative to its threshold. These values are very finely tuned to make it as musical as possible, without requiring a wall full of gold records to hit the right settings. The attack/release settings are inspired by one of the true "stealth" vintage compressors, the dbx* 160. You may not hear about it much, but you've heard it on records time and time again. Musicality: That's the second key. Major Tom WILL pump, but it should do so in a musical, rhythmic manner. Put it on vocals gently for smoothing nice. Put it on bass, but don't go overboard buttah. Put it on drums and go berserk SMACKIN. If you pull lots of gain reduction, it is going to turn into a savage, living, funky, breathing, pumping instrument of destruction, but use it gently and it will be nice and transparent, adding a subtle gloss to you Those looking for utterly transparent gain reduction need not apply. Requirements: · AU or VST audio host
