jParaComp: Unleash the Power of Parallel Compression
Introducing jParaComp from J-Hud-Studio – a compact yet powerful plugin that opens the door to the world of professional parallel compression. This stereo compressor is designed to give your mixes power, density, and punch while preserving the natural dynamics of the sound.
What is Parallel Compression and Why is it Important?
Parallel compression, also known as New York compression, is one of the favorite techniques of studio professionals. Its essence lies in mixing the unprocessed (dry) signal with its heavily compressed (processed) version.
The result? You get the best of both worlds:
-
Preservation of the natural dynamics and transients of the “dry” signal.
-
Adding density, sustain, and “fatness” from the heavily compressed signal.
-
The ability to make a track subjectively louder without significantly increasing peak levels.
-
Perfect for drums (especially kick and snare), bass, vocals, and even the entire stereo mix bus.
jParaComp makes this process intuitive and effective, giving you direct control over the ratio of dry and processed signals.
