Unleash your sonic potential: Pro-C 2 isn't just for mastering engineers. This versatile compressor delivers stunning results for a wide range of applications.
Eight program-dependent styles provide the perfect sonic foundation, from subtle mastering touches to aggressive lead vocal compression and deep EDM pumping.
But Pro-C 2 goes far beyond basic compression:
-
Smooth lookahead anticipates incoming audio for transparent and artifact-free compression.
-
Up to 4x oversampling ensures pristine audio quality, even at high sample rates.
-
Intelligent auto-gain and auto-release streamline your workflow by automatically adjusting key parameters.
-
Variable knee, hold, and range offer extensive control over the compression characteristics.
-
External side-chain triggering lets you use other audio sources to control the compression.
-
Variable stereo linking and mid/side processing provide ultimate flexibility in shaping your sound.
A feast for the eyes (and ears):
The redesigned interface boasts:
-
Real-time metering displays for clear visualization of compression behavior.
-
Large animated level/knee display for precise control over compression application.
-
Accurate level meters for peak and loudness readings.
-
Circular side-chain input meter for easy threshold setting.
