Introduction
The Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the legendary centre section stereo
bus compressor found on the XL 9000 K Series console. It provides high quality stereo
compression, giving you critical control over the dynamic range of audio signals.
Uses may include inserting the bus compressor over a stereo mix which has the effect of
‘gluing’ the mix together whilst still maintaining a big sound. The dynamics of drum
overheads or whole drum kits can be controlled very effectively with the bus compressor .
As it is available as either a stereo or mono plug-in the bus compressor can be used for
practically any application that requires superior compression.
