Don't know about other hosts, but VST3 in Reaper kills it. Slates plugins VST3 in Reaper behave too bad, when input too quiet it starts to truncate. Takes a bit time to get to get to know it but once you do it will be surprised at how easy it is to obtain 'that' sound.ĪA users, how does it compare to Ultramarine 3? Quite honestly never tested it myself, i know i should. You will definitely hear that warm low end heard on many famous records. Your material will sound dynamic, warm, controlled and sparkly. Taming the transients and the bass, it can glue like no other compressor in the algo domain. It has a 'gentle' bump in the 2khz region, can be quite noticeable or even undesirable sometimes, but hey, it is what it is.īut it behaves like a lil beast this one. Why some people dont like it? Because it boosts your mids quite a bit but you can always work with it if you know how it will behave. I have tested a whole lot of algo compressors but none have that much mojo and glue going on. (The mono 660 version and the dual-channel 670 were released almost at the same time. It was for this very reason the two-channel Fairchild 670 was designed for use either as a dual-mono unit (with unlinked stereo channels) or in M-S mode. The Mid-Sides (M-S) process helped to save lacquer real estate during the cutting process, and (an equally important benefit at the time) it retained mono compatibility. To maintain parameters like programme length and level, dynamic shaping of the audio material was essential. Virtually twice the amount of information as on a mono LP needed to be stored on the same size surface for a stereo record. The Fairchild was designed at a time when stereophonic recording techniques and the stereo vinyl record were becoming established. Never owned one, maybe someone who owns one or worked with it can chyme in.Ī little bit of history from Sound on Sound. It uses vacuum tubes for reduction of gain.

This compressor is based on Fairchild 670.

You get three bus compressors FG-Grey Fg- Red and FG-MU. Everyone knows the Slate bus compressor bundle.
