Enthusiastic as Antelope Audio are about great analog sound, bringing the \u003cstrong\u003eAntelope Audio COMP-4K-STRIP VCA Compressor Plug-in\u003c\/strong\u003e to the Synergy Core effects processing platform is a proud moment Antelope. An actual channel strip from a well-preserved desk was dismounted, painstakingly analyzed and its digital recreation rigorously tested for it to rank among the most faithful 4K reproductions out there. Enjoy the classic punch, glue, drive, and saturation of the iconic desk with no latency and zero CPU load, thanks to the Synergy Core processing platform built into your Antelope Audio interface. Strap the COMP-4K-STRIP across the entirety of your session and record, monitor, mix, and master through the time-tested circuits. Bring back the analog magic, stay in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eUSES\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe dynamic processors found in those early Oxford consoles may look rugged and simplistic, but they were in fact designed to be fully-functional dynamic multi-tools. Engineers and producers have been abusing them for decades and have found many exciting and unique uses.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eLIMITING \u0026amp; COMPRESSION\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTurning the Threshold on maximum and dialing the amount of compression with the Ratio knob allows the engineer to use this as a standard compressor. The higher the Ratio – the more compression applied. That untraditional process of using those parameters simplifies the compressor and essentially turns it into a one-know tool. Vice-versa turning the Ratio knob on maximum and dialing the amount of processing with the Threshold knob essentially turns this processor into a brick-wall limiter. That trick does not rely on any external buttons or modes. It is simple and elegant yet incredibly powerful as it drastically expands the capabilities of this module and radically changes the behavior of the compressor. The results are musical and outstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eDE-ESSER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOne hidden and beloved function of the 4K console was to turn the compressors into a deessers with the “dyn sc” button found on the channel strips. That takes the filter section from the equalizer of a channel strip and turns it into a side-chain for the dynamics processor. Turning both filter knobs on maximum allows for more precise isolation on the frequency part of the signal that triggers the compressor and turns it into a de-esser. This is now possible with the COMP-4K-STRIP.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eFILTERING\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Filter section can also work as two fully functional High Pass and Low Pass filters. With the added button “Pre Dyn” you can now change the placement of the Filters before and after the Dynamic processing.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eApple Mac 2015 or newer, with Intel or Apple Silicon processor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMinimum: Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave (Recommended 11 Big Sur or higher)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMemory (RAM): 8 GB minimum (16 GB or more recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVST3, AU, and AAX formats\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWindows 10\/11 (64-bit) with latest Microsoft Updates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMemory (RAM): 8 GB minimum (16 GB or more recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCPU: Minimum Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 1000 (Higher recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVST3 and AAX formats\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Antelope Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451368403047,"sku":"507539","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/antelope-audio-comp-4k-strip-electronic-delivery_507539_1.jpg?v=1787096959","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/antelope-audio-comp-4k-strip-electronic-delivery","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
