MUSICAL GLUE

More than a bus compressor. Use it on anything — single channels, subgroups, master channel — for consistently rewarding results.

COME TOGETHER

SOLID BUS COMP is the powerful compressor for finishing off mixes and adding that unmistakable high-end sound to your track. Available separately or as a part of the SOLID MIX SERIES bundle, this professional studio effect now runs as a stand-alone plug-in with an updated clean and simple interface, making first-rate results a reality for everyone.

MIX GLUE

With the uncanny ability to 'glue' mixes together and make a track sound finished, SOLID BUS COMP is perfect for most use cases, not least handling stereo sum, drum subgroups and single tracks. Use the SOLID BUS COMP with a low ratio (1.5:1 or 2:1) on the master channel for the full mix 'glue' effect.

Featuring a transparent and neutral sound with a tight bottom end, it’s also incredibly simple to use, with an optional auto-release setting and A/B comparison functionality. It also features a Dry/Wet control for parallel compression, and a sidechain input.

IN THE MIX

Each SOLID MIX effect has its own unique character and specific advantages, and all three are available as a specially-priced bundle:
