The original 0.3s release time is set to 0.2s. There are some new additions, including an ultra-fast 0.01ms attack option and additional release times (0.4 and 0.8s).
If you’re familiar with the SSL original or any of is emulations, you’ll recognize features like ‘auto’ release, three compression ratios (2:1, 4:1 and 10:1), and the same attack times. Cytomic goes to great lengths to achieve this, as they’ve done with The Glue. Instead of investing in massive, heavy, fragile pieces of outboard gear, we can have those same sounds right in our laptops. Cytomic models classic analog processing circuits, hoping to bring those exact sounds to the digital domain.Īnalog-modeled plugins strive to make our lives easier (not to mention less expensive!). PluginsĪndrew and Emma Simper founded Cytomic in 2007, and they’ve been making boutique audio plugins ever since. Related: Master Bus Compression: Hardware vs.It’s very similar to the original SSL 4000 bus compressor, and if you’ve used any of its other plugin emulations, you’ll get acquainted right away. These are some of the highly useable features we’d expect in a plugin emulation.Ĭytomic The Glue looks familiar. Thus the two have similar settings, but The Glue adds more attack and release notches, a high‑pass sidechain filter, Dry/Wet control, and Range control. The company actually took an XLogic unit as well and compared it to their plugin while tweaking performance. This means The Glue sounds closer to an XLogic G‑series compressor. However, instead of modeling the non-linear quirks of the original VCAs, they build a ‘perfect’ VCA model for the plugin. Cytomic used actual schematics from the SSL E bus compressor to build their digital version.
