Default New URS Compressors

URS 1970 Compressor
High Res 48 bit "Double Precision" processing
The URS 1970 Classic Console Compressor digitally recreates a popular 1970's British Console Buss Comprerssor Limiter.
The URS 1970’s Classic Console Compressor features digital recreation of transformer input and diode bridge gain reduction amplifier characterics.
Smooth and warm!

High Res 48 bit "Double Precision" processing
The URS Classic Console Compressors TDM versions feature Hi Resolution 48-bit TDM and 64-bit RTAS
"Double Precision" processing for increased clarity, headroom and unparalleled gain reduction. Hi Resolution "Double Precision" processing helps to avoid internal clipping in the Digital Domain.

Independent Compressor and Limiter sections
The Compressor and Limiter sections are totally independent of each other. Both feature separate variable Attack, Release and Threshold controls.

Built in Internal Side Chain Filtering
The Internal Side Chain High and Low Pass Filters fine tune how narrow or "Broad Band" the URS Classic Console Compressor will affect the program material. Both Filters completely overlap to dial in problem frequencies.

Listen Key
The Listen Key is after the Filters section. The Listen Key allows you to monitor the signal being sent to the Gain Reduction detection circuit.

Signal Flow explained
The URS Classic Console Compressors signal flow inserts the Gain Makeup control before the final Limiter. This is the secret to how hard you can hit the final "Brick Wall" Limiter. The URS Classic Console Compressors utilize Feed-back gain sensing. Feed-back gain sensing gives Compression and Limiting a servo type of control. See the detailed signal flow diagram below.

Classic Sound with Modern Features
The URS Classic Console Compressor adds other powerful modern features such as totally variable Compression Ratios, Attack and Release times.

Two Different Plug-ins
Two different URS 1970 Classic Console Compressor plug-ins are included in this bundle.

The 1970 version includes :
• Compressor/ Limiter / Side Chain version
• Compressor only version

The 1970 Compressor /Limiter / Side chain version has a "Brick Wall Limiter to smooth out the most difficult musical tracks. The 1970 Compressor /Limiter / Side chain version is well suited for Drum Sub Groups, Aux sends (TDM versions) and especially on the Mix Bus.

The 1970 Compressor only version is 3x more DSP efficient. The Compressor only version is very well suited on general instruments, such as vocals, guitars, bass and individual drums. The 1970 Compressor Only version will act as a Limiter when the ratio is set at 10:1 and above.



URS 1980 Compressor
The URS 1980 Classic Console Compressor digitally recreates a popular 1980's British Console Buss Compressor.
The URS 1980 Classic Console Compressor features digital recreation of the IC input and voltage controlled gain reduction amplifier (VCA) characteristics.
Snappy and aggressive!

High Res 48 bit "Double Precision" processing
The URS Classic Console Compressors TDM versions feature Hi Resolution 48-bit TDM and 64-bit RTAS
"Double Precision" processing for increased clarity, headroom and unparalleled gain reduction. Hi Resolution "Double Precision" processing helps to avoid internal clipping in the Digital Domain.

The 1980 version includes :
• Compressor/ Limiter / Side Chain version
• Compressor only version

The 1980 Compressor /Limiter / Side chain version has a modern "Brick Wall Limiter that was not found on the vintage unit. The 1980 Compressor /Limiter / Side chain version is also well suited for drum Sub groups, Aux sends (TDM versions) and highly recommended especially on the Mix Bus.

The 1980 Compressor only version is also 3x more DSP efficient. The 1980 Compressor Only version will act as a Limiter when the ratio is set at 10:1 and above.

You could at least put a "for sale:" in your subject line when posting and even cross-postig an Advertisement.

Hey, it's AES week -- every manufacturer is going to have a press release of some kind - and what better place to post a new product announcement? I say give them a little room during AES week. No worries.

With all due respect, don't discourage this type of post. The thread title is clear of the thread's content. I personally found this particular post very informative.

Thank you for your consideration.

No doubt. He's not advertising. He's probably not affiliated with those crazy URS boys from up north (makers of some of the finest plugs known to mankind - and I'm not affiliated either!), he's just EXCITED!!! And rather than explaining in his words what he read on their website, he just posted the specs verbatim.

Someone needs 1 more, or 1 less cup of coffee this morning!!

Yikes.

Fall AES is my favorite time of year! Yahoooo.....

peace

I agree that product announcements such as this are welcome here.

If we like the product it's O.K., if not, we tear it a new one! (I'm guilty of that as well)
Let's see if Mr. Nathan got this plugin right. Analog compression I believe to be the hardest off all the plugins to emulate correctly but so far all the URS's are winners so I have confidence in there products. (though I miss the fixed gain switches on there API and Neve eq's, much faster to recall and mix) There are a few great limiter and compressor plugins out there but you have to look at them as a new animal, not much really in common with the real analog thing. Perhaps this is the first to emulate an analog one correctly? I'll try the demo, also the new Digi comp III when it's available.
