Major Tom 2.0

Not your ordinary audio compressor<br /><br />Major Tom is not your ordinary compressor, no sir! It was designed with very specific goals in mind, and blew completely past them.<br /><br />Major Tom is intended to be easy to use: there are no attack and release controls the values vary depending on the level of the signal relative to its threshold.<br /><br />These values are very finely tuned to make it as musical as possible, without requiring a wall full of gold records to hit the right settings. The attack/release settings are inspired by one of the true "stealth" vintage compressors, the dbx* 160.<br /><br />You may not hear about it much, but you've heard it on records time and time again. Musicality: That's the second key. Major Tom WILL pump, but it should do so in a musical, rhythmic manner. Put it on vocals gently for smoothing nice. Put it on bass, but don't go overboard buttah.<br /><br />Put it on drums and go berserk SMACKIN. If you pull lots of gain reduction, it is going to turn into a savage, living, funky, breathing, pumping instrument of destruction, but use it gently and it will be nice and transparent, adding a subtle gloss to you Those looking for utterly transparent gain reduction need not apply.
