{"product_id":"sonible-smart-comp-2-398769","title":"smart:comp 2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat smart:comp 2 is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003esmart:comp 2 is a software compressor designed to \u003cstrong\u003emaster dynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e with great precision while maintaining a \u003cstrong\u003etransparency\u003c\/strong\u003e that is hard to achieve with classic compression. It is suitable for modern mixing (vocals, drums, bass, guitars, synths) as well as \u003cstrong\u003ebus\u003c\/strong\u003e processing (drum bus, vocal bus, instrument bus) and even full \u003cstrong\u003emix\u003c\/strong\u003e processing when you seek fine control without unwanted pumping effects. Thanks to its spectro-dynamic approach, it also helps stabilize tonal balance when an instrument's dynamics cause its color to vary over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpectral compression: \"shaping\" dynamics\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of smart:comp 2, \u003cstrong\u003espectral compression\u003c\/strong\u003e continuously works across a large number of frequency bands. The goal is to achieve a cleaner and more readable result by preventing any spectral region from dominating at the slightest energy peak. This method favors compression perceived as \u003cstrong\u003emore transparent\u003c\/strong\u003e, as it limits typical side effects (overall squashing, veil, loss of attack) often associated with broadband compressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIntelligent auto-parameterization: fast, consistent, musical\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in offers a simple-to-activate \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic parametrization\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to speed up workflow: you get a relevant starting point based on the source. Profiles oriented towards \"single tracks\" facilitate choosing an appropriate behavior (for example, for vocals, kick, bass, or synths), while remaining flexible enough to fine-tune the feel afterward: tighter, softer, punchier, or more subtle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency-dependent ducking: more space, fewer conflicts\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003esmart:comp 2 goes beyond traditional ducking by offering \u003cstrong\u003efrequency-dependent ducking\u003c\/strong\u003e. Instead of lowering the entire signal whenever the sidechain is triggered, it identifies the \u003cstrong\u003espectral overlap zones\u003c\/strong\u003e between the input and sidechain and automatically corrects them. The result: the sidechain (vocals, kick, snare, lead, etc.) gets exactly the space it needs, with a clearer mix and less audible compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSound design: free-form transfer curve and customizable envelopes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor producers who want to sculpt a signature, smart:comp 2 includes a \u003cstrong\u003efree-form transfer curve\u003c\/strong\u003e that goes beyond usual ratios and knee settings. You can target complex goals such as \"parallel\" compression in spirit, or even more selective behaviors (for example, \u003cstrong\u003eaccentuating\u003c\/strong\u003e certain signal levels instead of just reducing them). Additionally, you can \u003cstrong\u003edraw the temporal behavior\u003c\/strong\u003e of attack and release, turning the compressor into a true playground for creating punchier transients, more stable sustains, or controlled rhythmic movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCharacter and control: Color, Style, M\/S, and useful automation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e dials allow adjusting the treatment's personality, from the most neutral compression to a more marked and expressive feel. For precise mixing, the plug-in also offers features expected in advanced production: \u003cstrong\u003eauto output gain\u003c\/strong\u003e for level-matched comparison, \u003cstrong\u003emid\/side processing\u003c\/strong\u003e to work on center and sides, and options like \u003cstrong\u003einput level riding\u003c\/strong\u003e to stabilize input level variations. Support for \u003cstrong\u003esurround\u003c\/strong\u003e also opens the door to immersive projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory (Mac)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e4 GB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory (Windows)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e4 GB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOS X (native Apple Silicon support)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eWindows\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter settings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u0026quot;Color\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;Style\u0026quot; dials\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sonible","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358005022995,"sku":"398769","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/3976ab24a234f6ef083b7d1eb909457c28c39cfe_SONIBLE_1130723.jpg?v=1788285861","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sonible-smart-comp-2-398769","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
