When to use it
A one-knob route to "New York" style parallel compression with extra colour, quicker than building a parallel chain by hand. It's an enhancer more than a precise dynamics tool like Pro-C 3.
- Best for: drum buses, lead vocals and thin-sounding instruments.
- Genres: pop, hip-hop, rock and electronic.
