X-Comp from Solid State Logic is a sophisticated and extremely versatile stereo compressor that cuts through the mass of freeware and other bundled plug-ins with genuinely professional features, results and interface. The audio performance, specifications, analysis tools and depth of control offered by X-Comp are exemplary and deliver master-grade audio fidelity with a distinctly analogue feel. X-Comp can be used for everything from ‘invisible’ subtle dynamic control for mastering, to dramatic ‘brick wall’ effects that inject raw energy and power that competes with the legendary SSL Listen Mic Compressor. Between these two extremes, X-Comp can reproduce characteristics of modern and classic vintage compressors, including the much sought-after OPTO, FET and Vari Mu types.
