Versatile VCA Compression for Every Production Stage
The Bettermaker Mastering Compressor stands out as a multi-functional powerhouse. Equipped with three distinct compression modes, it seamlessly transforms into a glue compressor, a punchy enhancer, or a reliable workhorse—all in a single unit. With the added flexibility of switchable feed-forward and feed-backward modes, you can tailor the compression style to be bold and musical or clean and modern, catering to a wide range of creative needs.
Explore Three Unique Compression Modes
- BM Mode: Known for its transparency, this mode offers Bettermaker’s signature sound with a slow attack, adjustable knee, and a silky-smooth response—perfect for mastering and creating a polished, cohesive mix.
- SG Mode: Inspired by classic British bus compressors, this mode delivers a broader, more adaptable attack and release, making it ideal for drums and bus processing with its iconic punch.
- DX Mode: Drawing from legendary American hardware, this aggressive mode features a rapid response and a sharp, dynamic edge, excelling on solo tracks like vocals, guitars, and drums.
Seamless Integration into Your Audio Chain
Maximize the potential of this versatile VCA compressor with its streamlined functionality. Refine your input with a built-in high-pass filter, and customize your sound using a variety of presets across the three compression styles. Take command of your mix with a dedicated sidechain section, complete with an audition feature and a three-band EQ for precise frequency targeting. For added flexibility, external sidechain control allows you to integrate your own instruments effortlessly.
Rich Harmonic Character for Unique Soundscapes
Bettermaker goes beyond simple compression by replicating the harmonic depth of original analog hardware. Choose between two distinct color profiles: a warm, subtle THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) for a vintage vibe, or an intense Zener clipping with switchable even/odd harmonics for a gritty, bold effect. These options let you infuse your tracks with personality and texture.
Precision Control for Advanced Audio Shaping
This plugin offers an extensive array of controls to craft or experiment with your sound. From advanced compression ratios unavailable in the original hardware to flexible envelope settings and independent mid/side processing, you have everything needed to add depth, clarity, and punch to your mixes. Whether you’re finalizing a full track, tightening a drum group, or enhancing vocals, these powerful mastering tools are at your fingertips.
Visual Feedback for Professional Results
Monitor your dynamics with high-resolution displays that provide real-time insights into gain reduction, thresholds, and input/output levels.
