Description
Summary
PSP Impressor emulates the classic characteristics of compressors with valve and opto-electronic circuits as well as classic modern compression solutions. PSP Impressor also offers a highly configurable side-chain feature. The side-chain filter has a significant effect on PSP Impressor’s sound and operation. The filter also enables the user to operate the compressor as a de-esser or to lessen the pumping effects of heavy kick drums and the like, based on the side-chain settings.
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 a bus compressor before a tape machine), you can employ both plug-ins simultaneously (at subtle settings!) in order to impart a very cohesive sound, like your mix was being produced on expensive analog hardware. Of course, you can also reverse the order, placing PSP Saturator before PSP Impressor—never be afraid to experiment!
Key Features
- a wide range of soft knee characteristics
- either peak or RMS level detection
- external or internal side chain signal with a smooth bell-type filter
- an output algorithm which can operate as either a brick wall limiter or soft saturation algorithm to preserve peaks above 0dBFS
