Unveiling the "Avocado": PSP auralComp Redefined
Introducing PSP auralComp, affectionately nicknamed "Avocado." This multi-channel compressor and limiter isn't just powerful, it's a game-changer for immersive audio.
Built for Power and Collaboration: auralComp marks the first in a series co-developed with immersive audio guru Ronald Prent (credits include Depeche Mode, Iron Maiden, Celine Dion). His expertise in crafting analog multi-channel dynamics processors is woven into auralComp's design.
Simplicity at its Finest: Despite its capabilities, auralComp offers intuitive controls and metering for up to 16 channels of compression. Need to adjust multiple channels? Group them and tweak with ease.
Unmatched Flexibility: From basic 5.1 surround to intricate 7.1.4 layouts, auralComp caters to a wide range of immersive audio configurations with its Quick Select options. It even tackles stereo with Mid-Side processing and boasts a final brick wall limiter for peak control.
We're confident auralComp is the ultimate multi-channel compressor and limiter. Experience it on your most demanding projects, and we believe you'll be impressed.

PSP auralControl simplifies complex tasks, making your multichannel projects smoother than ever. Special thanks to Thor Fienberg and Scott Michael Smith for their invaluable contributions from the start.
Typical Uses
-
Re-balancing multichannel stems.
-
Monitoring of multichannel buses: you have peak meters for each channel and can mute or solo desired channels on multichannel buses – for example to check SIDEs on a multichannel reverb send.
-
Gain staging for multichannel buses: you can control the level of each channel with ease – for example bring up REARs on effect sends, reduce LFE.
-
Simple multichannel operations: you have direct access to basic HPF and LPF filters for each channel – for example to roll-off LFE with LPF or to leave only “air” on TOPs with HPF.
-
Advanced effect operations: you have access to a Delay section to setup unique depths for multichannel mixes – for example you can put a multi-mono instance of PSP 2445 on a multichannel reverb send, creating a type of "big monophonic reverb.” With PSP auralControl you can roll off LFE, set different frequency ranges and levels for FRONTs, REARs, SIDEs and TOPs and set different pre-delays for each channel group to produce a full-sounding multichannel reverb.
-
Advanced level riding: you have access to channel groups and record automation with relative or reversed linking (reversed linking – for example bringing up FRONT levels while reducing REAR levels).
-
Advanced Mid-Side operations: you have access to Mid-Side processing of Stereo tracks.
