Baby Audio Parallel Aggressor

Product Description

Baby Audio Parallel Aggressor splits your audio into three parallel tracks: Dry, Compressed and Saturated adding triple impact to your tracks. This process lets you add powerful parallel compression/saturation without having to route your audio to any busses. Balance the three internal tracks to add impact and punch while retaining the dynamics of your original audio.

Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a big mix sound. By duplicating the same audio into multiple copies and processing each duplicate with different levels of intensity, you can add more power to a track – while still preserving its natural dynamics. The technique is a staple of modern music production and usually involves sending audio tracks to a number of parallel busses on a console (physical or virtual).

Parallel Aggressor is based on this same idea. Except the plug-in hosts the parallel busses internally and has them setup for maximum impact from the get-go. It’ll help you transform tame mixes in an instant.

“Spank” offers a heavily compressed duplicate of your original track. “Heat” offers a heavily saturated duplicate. “Dry” is your clean audio. Work the two duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to taste to squeeze every last drop of sonic juice out of your track.

FEATURES:

Parallel Engine 1: Spank

• ”Spank” offers an addictively punchy compression algorithm, designed to adapt to your audio signal’s low-end frequency content. Set the compression amount by dialing the main “Spank” wheel – then use the style injection buttons to control the behavior of the engine. Finally, use the volume slider to set the amount of “Spank” / parallel compression you want blended in with your signal 2
• Style injection buttons: Extra Punch, Extra Smack, Sidechain Filter, Mono

Parallel Engine 2: Heat

• ”Heat” is a warm, analog modeled, saturation algorithm with an aggressive bite. It will add some rich, non-linear harmonics to blend in with your signal. Set the saturation intensity by dialing the main “Heat” wheel – then use the style injection buttons to control the behavior of the engine. Finally, use the volume slider to set the amount of “Heat” / parallel saturation you want blended in with your signal
• Style injection buttons: Extra Hot, Tone, HP Filter, LP Filter
• Auto Gain: Engage “Auto Gain” to ensure that the combined level of the plug-in’s three signals roughly matches the input/dry level. This allows you to experiment with different internal mix balances while keeping a consistent plug-in output
• Setting the mix balance: Balance Parallel Aggressor’s three parallel signals with the volume faders in the center of the plug-in interface
• Mixing with the meters: The plug-in interface’s left and right side meters help you set the appropriate amount of “Spank” and “Heat” for any audio signal. As a general rule of thumb, its recommended you dial the Spank/Heat wheels to taste until their respective meters peak somewhere before the orange line
• Listening in solo: The solo buttons below the volume sliders let you monitor each parallel signal individually for fine-tuning purposes
• Display options: Switch between black, gray and white background colors
