CompressorBank is a high-end compressor plug-in designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern compressors, while delivering complete control of dynamic compression.
In addition to the standard threshold and ratio controls, the actual shape and response of the compression curve can be adjusted with the Knee and BITE controls. Flexible compression control is complimented with pre-filtering and post-compression EQ.
Natural Vocals
CompressorBank is able to respond in natural ways to dialog and vocal signals, so the compression ‘effect’ is not too much of, well, an ‘effect’.
Huge Drums
Increasing the attack can bring the overall level of the drum kit up. Conversely, you can increase the BITE control to about 4.0 to 8.0 for a great ‘thwack’ sound.
Smooth Bass
By filtering out the high frequencies from the key signal, the compressor is no longer tracking those signals, and hence no longer produces buzzing at the output.

Pre-filter
CompressorBank gives the user total control over filter parameters: pre-filter In/Out, pre-filter InLine, filter type, frequency, Q, and gain.
Compressor
The user can choose different knee shapes, even changing compression paradigms (from a dbx 165 to a Neve 33609), in a single continuous control change.
BITE
As this control is increased, fast signal changes (transients) are allowed to pass through the compressor while the overall compression amount is the same.
TC Circuit
There are 3 different types of detection and tracking algorithms in the AC303: Type-1, Type-2, and Auto.
Static/Dynamic EQ
The gain of the CB303 parametric EQ can be fixed, or dynamically tracked to the amount of signal present in the compressor.
