The Big Blue Compressor is a modern compressor with vintage qualities. Although it can sound transparent whenever necessary, it was designed to give character and warmth to your sound.
Big Blue Limiter is a character limiter. It is neither transparent nor intended to be. In fact it adds a little mojo to everything you run through it, if desired even when no limiting is taking place.

Harrison has announced the availability of the v2.3 update for its Mixbus digital audio workstation, adding numerous improvements – a faster routing setup, enhanced keyboard layout, and a more refined editing workflow – and resolves multiple user-reported issues.
This release also marks the introduction of Harrison’s new series of plug-ins – XTools for Mixbus – that are derived from the company’s digital console software.
The first three plug-ins are the XT-ME Mastering Equalizer, XT-MC Multi-Band Compressor, and the XT-EQ Equalizer. All three plug-ins are now available at the Harrison Mixbus store, and can be purchased at a special introductory price.
XTools for Mixbus features
The XT-ME Mastering EQ features a revolutionary filter shape that was originally designed for precision speaker management. Unlike a conventional EQ, when 2 or more adjacent bands are adjusted, the shape is “flat” across the top. This avoids the “comb filter” shape of a typical multiband EQ.
The XT-EQ contains all of the sound of the XT-ME Mastering Equalizer in a smaller footprint.
The XT-MC Multi-Band Compressor is equipped to enhance or repair tracks in a mix. It uses a precision algorithm with phase-correct crossovers, adjustable hard/soft control, and intelligent attack/release times to perform delicate tweaking or major surgery without artifacts.
The XT-ME and XT-MC are available for the introductory price of $79 USD each (regular $109 USD), XT-EQ is on sale for $39 USD (regular $49 USD).
Through June 12th, 2013, Mixbus is available from DontCrack for only $39 USD (regular $219 USD).
After a couple of successful years for our products BC1, DP1 and The Blender we decided it was time to make them even better.
We have updated them with some new and useful features which will make them even more user friendly.
The stereo bus compressor BC1mk2 has become BC1-S where S stands for stepped. All controls are now stepped for 100% recall and the circuits have been further improved for even lower noise.
DP1 has turned into DP1mk3. It is still the same dual channel preamp with a unique design including both vintage and modern circuits but now we have improved the input stages for lower noise and distortion and a HP-filter has been added after the input stage.
Our bus processor The Blender now goes by the name S-Blender, because this one has got new stepped controls for 100% recall. This is the perfect tool for mixing and mastering and the circuits have been improved for even lower noise and distortion.
