Gyraf G24 Passive Aggressive Compressor

The G24 is an optical stereo compressor – aimed at mix and mastering functions. It’s for those situations where you have a mix that is already nearly-perfect balanced, but you want to control some part of its dynamic without messing up the overall definition.

With its fully passive signal path it sounds clean and very expensive at the same time. In a unique twist, the G24 contains two separate side-chains which you can use individually or blend together. In essence, with G24 it feels like you are using two distinct compressors in one box.

Where to use Gyraf G24 Passive Aggressive Compressor?

I've used it for all manner of tonal/spatial/dynamic shaping. Killing too-wide HF while doing standard gentle 'groove' compression at the same time. Fattening thin mixes up while simultaneously holding the jumpy lead vocal in place in the centre. Punching things to smack hard in stereo, while doing parallel compression in order to bring out width/space. And so on. You can manipulate the dynamics, tone and space to a frightening degree if you want.

But be careful. Even small tweaks can make big differences. Like any powerful device you can twist stuff if you're not careful. You can quite literally relax things or make them sit up with one detent on a knob.
