Compressor & Limiter

UPDATE NEWS— C254-E has just received a major V2 update. The update is HUGE. Everything was rebuilt from the ground up, it’s really an all-new product. The programming has been completely redone, resulting in an entirely new, vastly improved compressor. Attack times, release times, everything is vastly improved, even including the samples (re-rendered from the original tone sweeps to allow for better edits as well as reducing stereo differences). This is now my most accurate compressor, by far. I spent months on this update, determined to make one of the best Nebula compressors out there, and learned a lot of new techniques in the process.

This is my Nebula take on a legendary compressor known for its ‘smooth’ or ’round’, and ‘thick’ sound. Those kinds of descriptions are very subjective, but it’s also considered to be especially great for vocals. Many engineers find use for it with almost any kind of audio material, but it’s known as a character piece. A unique design featuring a diode bridge and multiple transformers, and which drops the input level greatly before compression with a subsequent make-up gain stage afterwards, gives this compressor a sound of its own.
