X
-Comp can deliver the transparent audio finesse of a mastering grade stereo compressor or be driven to inject character and
r
aw power to rival the SSL Listen Mic Compressor. In X-Comp we haven’t just modelled a particular compressor, but have
p
rovided a set of features and controls that allow the emulation of many vintage and modern compression designs based on
a
well loved SSL feed forward compressor algorithm.
