Baby Audio has released a new audio effect based on the popular New York style parallel compressor plugin IHNY-2. Designed to compress even harder than you normally would, Beat Slammer lets you blend in the compressed signal to taste, while retaining the dynamics of your dry signal.
Some compressors are designed to be subtle. This one is not! We set out to make the ideal compression plugin for smashing and squashing drums, beats or entire mix busses. Beat Slammer will give you that pumping and ‘bouncy’ compression sound that slaps you in the face – and brings muscle to weak tracks.
Beat Slammer features
- Get that aggressive compression sound that makes your beats ‘bounce’. Add punch and intensity to your drums and mix busses.
- Use the XY pad to set the compression amount and dry / wet mix in one motion, then adjust the make-up gain and output.
- Based on the popular compression algorithm from the IHNY-2 plugin, just without the surgical tweak options of IHNY-2.
Beat Slammer for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available for free from the freebies section at Baby Audio, where you’ll also find Pitch Drift, Magic Dice, and Magic Switch (email signup required).
