PAA Audio Not Another Glue-Comp v1.2.2 is a stereo compressor plugin for Windows built on classic British VCA topology. It features transformer saturation, automatic shutdown depending on the program, and 4x oversampling.
The developer created it because they kept reaching for the same classic British console-style compressor at every session, but none of the affordable ones sounded right. They were too clean, too slow, or just not right. So the circuit was modeled from scratch.
Not Another Glue-Comp uses a VCA circuit with transformer saturation, which adds harmonic density without overloading the low frequencies. Compression responds to your program material, faster on transients and slower on sustained ones.
Important Installation Note
Uninstall or remove any previous version before installing.
Installation Steps
Install the plugin.
Run the keygen as Administrator and register.
What It Actually Does
Software-dependent automatic release: release time adapts to your material, reacting faster to transients and slower to steady content
Transformer saturation adds 2nd and 3rd order harmonics without distorting the low end
VCA nonlinearities give it a distinctive effect you will not get from pure digital designs
4x oversampling for alias-free handling of high frequency content
Use It On
Mixer bus: Reduces gain by 1 to 3 dB to provide grip without crushing
Drum bus: Amps up the punch and tightens up the kit
Any stereo bus where you want density without smoothing out the dynamics
Controls
Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Makeup Gain, and Mix, plus a high-pass filter with a sidechain in the 30 to 185 Hz range to eliminate drums and bass from the detection circuit.
