CM-1B: Vintage Analog Opto Compressor Plugin
The Vintage Opto Compressor That Adds Weight And Glue To Any Source
CM-1B is a vintage analog opto compressor modeled on a legendary Danish unit, bringing weight and glue to vocals, drums, guitars, and pianos.
Smooth, musical compression with a simple set of controls, so any source sits in the mix without losing its life.
The Compressor You Reach For When a Vocal Needs to Sit Just Right
Some compressors control the volume. The right one makes the whole performance come together.
And it goes well beyond vocals.
Give bass a steady foundation, add breathing weight to drums, or push room mics into thick, sustained compression. Use the parallel blend to bring that energy back underneath your original signal.
How Does CM-1B Work Exactly?
Load CM-1B onto your track, lower the threshold to introduce compression, and set the ratio for how firmly it controls the signal.
FIXED: Effortless Vocal Leveling
Built-in attack and release behavior follows the performance phrase by phrase. A natural starting point for smooth, consistent vocals.
MANUAL: Shape the Movement
Take control of attack and release to dial in the response yourself. Preserve the punch of a drum hit, soften sharp transients, or bring out the sustain in room recordings.
FIX/MAN: Fast Control, Smooth Recovery
Combine a fast fixed attack with a release that responds to the passage, catching sudden peaks while recovering more gradually through sustained material.
