AMEK Mastering Compressor Walkthrough

This week, I visit the Plugin Alliance channel to give you a detailed look at the new AMEK Mastering Compressor and its three distinct types of compression control: slow, fast, and peak.

I love the unique metering on this plugin, and the one of a kind way in which its controlled. Modeled after the coveted GML compressors, I was impressed by just how transparent and flexible it was. It is designed to responds intelligently to changes in dynamics in the same naturally logarithmic way as the human ear, for stunningly transparent dynamic control.

If you’re curious, join me and hear it in action with a switch-by-switch breakdown of the GUI.
