HASound Big Apple – Your Indispensable Tool for Dynamic Processing
Welcome to the world of professional audio with the Big Apple plug-in by HASound! This powerful dynamic compressor is designed specifically for musicians and sound engineers who seek perfect control over the dynamics of their tracks. Big Apple is based on an innovative mathematical model of the ideal VCA, which provides transparent and musical signal compression.
Revolutionary Parallel Compression (New York Compression)
One of the key features of Big Apple is its ability to seamlessly integrate the parallel compression technique, also known as New York Compression. This method allows you to mix an unprocessed signal with its highly compressed version, achieving a dense, rich, and energetic sound without losing its natural dynamics. Usually, the implementation of parallel compression requires complex routing in your DAW. However, Big Apple simplifies this process by allowing you to use parallel compression directly in the track’s insert. This significantly speeds up the workflow and makes this powerful technique accessible to everyone.
The perfect VCA for Clean Sound
Thanks to the use of the mathematical model of the ideal VCA (Voltage-Controlled Amplifier), the Big Apple plugin guarantees minimal distortion and high-quality audio processing. This means you get clear, transparent sound that preserves all the nuances of the original recording while effectively controlling its dynamic range.
Flexible Settings for Every Task
The Big Apple is equipped with a wide range of controls that allow you to fine-tune compression to your needs. Whether you’re working with vocals, drums, bass, or an entire mix, this compressor gives you the flexibility you need.
- Threshold: Adjust the level at which compression is triggered from 0 dB to -60 dB.
- Ratio: Set the ratio of the signal compression, up to 20:1, with the option to use soft knee for a smoother effect.
- Make-up Gain: Compensate for volume loss caused by compression by adding up to +24 dB of gain.
- Attack: Determine how quickly the compressor responds to a threshold, from 1 ms to 200 ms.
- Release: Adjust the time it takes for the compressor to return to its original state after the signal falls below the threshold, from 50 ms to 2000 ms, with the option to use Auto Recovery.
- Sidechain Input: Use an external signal to control compression (requires support from your DAW). This feature is ideal for ducking a kick bass.
Technical Compatibility.
The Big Apple plugin is available in VST3 (64-bit) format, which ensures high performance and compatibility with modern DAWs. It is designed for Windows (64-bit) operating systems, ensuring stable operation in your production environment.
Big Apple by HASound is not just a compressor, it is a multifunctional tool that opens up new possibilities for working with dynamics. Its intuitive interface and powerful features make it the perfect choice for both beginners and experienced professionals. Add Big Apple to your plugin collection and hear the difference in the sound of your mixes!
