\n

The PSP Impressor is an incredibly accurate, a fully-featured, high-precision compressor designed to process whole mixes, busses or single tracks. PSP Impressor emulates the magical classic characteristics of compressors with valve and opto-electronic circuits as well as classic modern compressors. PSP Impressor also features a highly configurable side-chain. The side-chain filter has a significant effect on PSP Impressor's sound and operation. Depending on your side-chain filter settings, the filter also lets you use the compressor as a de-esser or to reduce the pumping effects of heavy kick drums and the like.<\/p>\n

PSP Impressor also works very well in combination with the PSP Saturator. With the PSP Impressor before the PSP Saturator in the signal path (think of it like placing a bus compressor before a tape machine), you can employ both plug-ins simultaneously (using subtle settings!) in order to impart a very cohesive sound, like your mix was being produced on expensive analogue hardware. Of course, you can also reverse the order, placing PSP Saturator before PSP Impressor - never be afraid to experiment!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Features<\/h1>\n
    \n
  • A wide range of soft knee characteristics<\/li>\n
  • Peak or RMS level detection<\/li>\n
  • External or internal side chain signal with a smooth bell-type filter<\/li>\n
  • An output algorithm which can operate as either a brick wall limiter or soft saturation algorithm to preserve peaks above 0dBFS.<\/li>\n
  • New high resolution, scalable GUI.<\/li>\n
  • VST3 support.<\/li>\n
  • FAT quad sampling option.<\/li>\n
  • Entire compression engine runs at internal quad sampling for proper compressor modelling when FAT is disengaged and 16 x sampling when the FAT is engaged.<\/li>\n
  • High sample rate support up to 400kHz.<\/li>\n
  • Feedback and feedback + feedforward compression modes, PSP MixPressor runs only in feedforward mode.<\/li>\n
  • New side chain filter modes: HPF and Equal Power. PSP MixPressor only had its powerful Bell type side chain filter, however HPF gives PSP Impressor a more classic touch, and the Equal Power results in extremely transparent and well balanced compression of complex tracks, drum groups or even entire mixes.<\/li>\n
  • Four Auto Attack and four Auto Release modes instead of just two modes for each.<\/li>\n
  • Refined compression shapes for added versatility.<\/li>\n
  • Adjustable Auto Makeup mode.<\/li>\n
  • Adjustable channel Link.<\/li>\n
  • Input (Pre) and output (Post) meter modes with optional Compare mode.<\/li>\n
  • Adjustable VU reference level.<\/li>\n
  • Adjusted ranges for most of knobs to make them more user-friendly.<\/li>\n
  • Input - Output knobs\u2019 link.<\/li>\n
  • New output Limiter.<\/li>\n
  • Other algorithm refinements to make the PSP Impressor the natural tool of a choice for vocals, drums, acoustic guitars and other tracks, groups, and even during the mastering process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
