Audified has updated its U73b Compressor with some significant improvements, including a new GUI – an almost photo-realistic rendering of the hardware on which the plug-in is modelled and an area to display numerically editable parameters or menu functions.
Functions include Load (for selecting presets) and Store (for saving presets), HPF (High-Pass Filter) on/off (to switch off the high-pass filter mode – with around 100Hz cut-off frequency and 6dB slope that helps characterise the sound of the U37b Compressor.
The U73b now features true side-chaining to control the compression via an independent signal (always accessible via the Side-chaining menu with Individual, Left, Right, Left +Right, and External settings); improved processing with added adjustable Oversampling (which, when turned on, enables the internal plug-in processing to run at a higher sample rate than is set in the DAW to help reduced aliasing distortion that is always produced by nonlinear effect processing and also improve high frequency processing); an automatic gain control option (Auto) with Ein (on) and Aus (off) settings; and -9dB default Kalib. (calibration) setting with an added value mechanism – note that the software model works with real voltages that are the same as those found in the original hardware circuitry (related to the dBu scale), but the DSP in DAWs works with dBFS (relative to full scale).
