Like all Bettermaker gear, the Bus Compressor features a pure analog signal path. An incredibly flexible, mastering-grade compressor for recording, mixing, and mastering, the Bus Compressor provides a way for you to gain control over your music while making sure to do so at the highest possible quality and fidelity available.
Bettermaker's approach seems simple: cherry-pick the best of vintage and modern circuit topologies and combine them in a product that offers the sonic integrity of analog with the speed and workflow conveniences bettermaker achieves.
For the Bus Compressor, modern, high-spec components were selected for long-term reliability and the low noise floor required for contemporary recording practices. Functionality was enhanced to accommodate the speed of workflow needed in today's sessions. Subjective listening tests played a big part in the development of this amazing mastering compressor. And the results speak for themselves.
