Key Features
The Universal Audio Capitol Mastering Compressor is an indistinguishable recreation of the legendary mastering compressor used in the world-famous Capitol recording studios. Utilizing the rich and warm characteristics of the CM5511, a handbuilt tube mastering compressor used on countless hit records, this plug-in gives you access to one of the rarest and most coveted tools in the industry. With its easy-to-use controls and stepped settings for precise results, you can effortlessly add the professional finishing touch that was previously exclusive to Capitol Studios.
From mastering a stereo track or enhancing individual elements in your mix, the CM5511 has you covered. Its versatile features include the ability to compress your mix in stereo or switch to mid/side operation to adjust the centre and sides of the stereo image independently. You can also control the amount of processed material with the mix control, reduce the stereo width of low bass signals with the post-compression mono fold feature, and add weight to your mix with the saturation control.
With VU meters for input and gain reduction, as well as LED ladder-style output meters, you'll have all the visual feedback you need to craft the perfect sound. The plug-in even captures the subtle circuit design differences between two CM5511 units, ensuring an authentic and true-to-life emulation.
