Overview of PSPaudioware PSP Impressor

This incredibly accurate, fully-featured, high-precision compressor is designed to process whole mixes, buses, or single tracks. It emulates the classic magical characteristics of compressors with valve and optoelectronic circuits and classic modern compressors. It also features a highly configurable side-chain.

The side-chain filter significantly affects PSP Impressor’s sound and operation. Depending on your side-chain filter settings, the filter lets you use the compressor as a de-esser or reduce the pumping effects of heavy kick drums.

It also works very well in combination with the PSP Saturator. With the PSP Impressor before the PSP Saturator in the signal path (think of it like placing a bus compressor before a tape machine), you can employ both plug-ins simultaneously (using subtle settings!) to impart a very cohesive sound, like your mix was being produced on expensive analog hardware.
