MASTER BUS COMPRESSOR1248
Introduction
The Master Bus Compressor is the rack version of the Master Bus Compressor in Reason’s Main Mixer. The rack
version is mainly intended for use in the VST3 plugin version of Reason, since it lacks the Main Mixer. However, you
can of course use it wherever you like - also in the stand-alone Reason program.
The Master Compressor is perfect for providing the final “fairy dust” to your mix. It can add punch and cohesion, and
generally make the mix sound bigger and more powerful. It’s perfect for use on a drum channel or in a mixer bus. The
compressor is very straightforward in operation and features make-up gain as well as program-adaptive Release.
The Master Bus Compressor device has identical specifications compared to the Master Section version, with the ad-
dition of Input Gain and Dry/Wet Mix controls.

signals are being output together.
