Overloud GEM Comp76 V2

Comp76 is the ultimate tool for professional engineers who mix with no comprimises

• Hyper-realistic simulation of the original unit thanks to the 4th generation DSP technology
• Built-in Parallel Compression
• Built-in Mid-Side Processing
• Sidechain processing
• Simulation of all transformers in the original unit
• Emulates the original All-buttons-in mode
• Low CPU usage (more than 1000 instances on a Macbook Pro Retina)
• Lots of presets designed in real mixing sessions
• Scribble Strips: take notes anywhere on the plugin panel
• Meter Calibration: calibrate the VU meters at 4 different sensibilities

What's new:

• Models three different units: Rev. A, Rev. D, Rev. F
• Low-frequency sensitivity control
• Harmonics amount control
• Oversample control, including ultra-oversampling mode
• Harmonics metering
• New -16dBFS VU-Meter Calibration

Built-in Parallel Compression

Parallel compression is a powerful mixing technique which helps improve the overall impact of the track while leaving the transients intact. It is achieved by summing the compressor output to the original track: with Overloud Comp76 you do not need to create complex routing inside the DAW: just turn the Parallel knob!

Built-in Mid/Side Processing

You can separately compress the mono and stereo elements of the track, using different compression settings for each. This gives you complete control of the dynamics: you can squeeze the stereo aspect to tighten the room mics and get an in-your-face drum sound.

Sidechain Filter

You can tweak a Low Cut filter on the Sidechain to reduce the compressor sensitivity to low frequencies. This is particularly useful to control the amount of "pumping" effect.

Parallel Compression

Parallel compression is a powerful mixing technique which helps improve the overall impact of the track while leaving the transients intact. It is achieved by summing the compressor output to the original track.

Three units in one plugin

From the '50s to nowadays, each original unit has been serviced multiple times: it has its own history and component tolerance that gives it a unique tone and dynamic response.

That's why Overloud sampled three different units (found in London, Los Angeles, and Milan studios), and packed them into a unique plugin.

Compression Curve Tweaking

A trimmer inside the original unit allowed to change the compression characteristic from soft-knee to hard-knee by changing the biasing current of the feedback amplifier.

The Comp670 brings this control on the front panel allowing to tweak the compressor response to dynamic.
