The most important ingredient for a powerful Mixbus.
Introducing XBus
Make your mixes sound like a record.
XBus is our take on one of the most revered bus compressors in history!
Known for its ultra-tough performance, smooth gluing, and ability to turn a good mix into a great one.
Modeled after a modern hardware retrofit that many engineers secretly prefer over the original design!
There’s a reason engineers call this compression style the “mixbus cheat code.”
Whether this iconic circuit is used in a main console or a modern rack, it’s still the perfect vehicle for bringing a mix together with power, cohesion, and ambience.
XBus gives you all the musicality of classic VCA style compression that’s known to glue your mix together, with the added flexibility and extra height control to let you switch up the compression.
Main Compressor The main compressor section captures the essence of the iconic bus compressor: powerful, musical , and effortless “glue.” Intuitive controls designed to shape transients, increase energy, and enhance the stereo field make your mix pop. Advanced controls Tweak the response with side-chain filtering and harmonic weighting with additional saturation controls to tailor the behavior to suit everything from delicate vocals to the hard-hitting masters. All the nuances you need for a modern ITB workflow, with the same compression style you already know and love.
