Mix harder

Today's mixes need punch. Parallel compression—a dry sound mixed with a hard-compressed version of itself—gives maximum impact without losing dynamics. IHNY-2's custom compression is clinical and aggressive, combining the precision of a digital algorithm with the analog-inspired non-linearity of 80s/90s DBX units.

    Compression controls

    Set how fast the compressor engages and disengages with the Attack and Release control, and set the overall compression intensity using the Ratio control.

  • Transient-shaping and drive

    Transient-shaping and drive

    Punch emphasizes transients to balance out heavy compression, and Harmonics reacts to the gain-reduction to saturate sound harder the more it's compressed.

  • Shape (New York style)

    Shape (New York style)

    IHNY-2 is named after 'New York' compression, a parallel compression style known for hyper-present highs and lows. Shape gives these a boost for a more 'New York' sound.

  • Frequency sculpting

    What should IHNY-2 compress? Tilt makes the compressor work harder on the lows or highs, and Preserve prevents frequencies from getting compressed at all.
