Eccezionale

Compressore molto trasparente ma anche aggressivo al occorrenza ottimo per molte situazioni,del resto un Emulazione APi non si discute Consiglio.

Masterful Glue for Any Mix

The API 2500 Bus Compressor is a true workhorse. Its ability to blend and cohesively unite various elements of a mix has made it a staple my studio setup.
From pianos and drums to strings and synthesizers, the API 2500 masterfully shapes and controls dynamics, adding a touch of analog warmth and character that elevates my overall mixes.
The Thrust circuit ensures that the highs and lows remain in harmony, preventing the final product from sounding harsh or muddy.

Best Afrobeat Bus Compressor

The API 2500 Bus Compressor excels in Afrobeat production, providing a unique blend of punch and warmth that complements the genre's intricate rhythms and vibrant instrumentation. Its transparent compression preserves the dynamic nuances crucial to Afrobeat's energetic and layered sound. The adjustable attack and release settings prove invaluable in shaping the rhythmic elements, ensuring a tight and controlled mix. While its price may be a consideration, the API 2500 proves its worth for producers seeking a high-quality bus compressor tailored to the dynamic demands of Afrobeat music.

This thing is violent! It's got punch that I thought was only possible with hardware.

The title says it all. Incredibly punchy. Even on the 'lighter' settings it gives you an incredibly realistic analogue punch to anything that goes through it. Whilst the tonality of it is a one trick pony (clean, super punchy) the features give it a lot of versatility within that tonal context.

Feels like the real deal

Having owned and mixing through a hardware API 2500 as my mixbus compressor for several years, I don't feel like I'm missing anything using this plugin. All the features and tricks I use respond the same. Even when using hardware recall sheets from past client projects, but using the plugin with the same settings, the results are without any significant difference. Seriously impressed.

Very versatile

I've read that it's the best emulation of an API 2500. I don't know, I just know that I love its versatility; And especially the punch he gives to the drums.

The only compressor that I can run all my enormous trailer percussion through without losing a single transient.

The sound is smooth, clear, and incredibly clean.

With the price during the promotion, it is considered very worthwhile.
