Tone Empire<\/strong><\/a><\/span>‘s <\/strong>Firechild compressor plugin emulates the \u201cKing of Compressors\u201d. The compressor hosts four models of Fairchild compressors in one, with three tube versions as well as and a transparent model that doesn\u2019t add characteristic colouring to the input signal, reports gearnews.com<\/em><\/a><\/span>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The three individual tube compressors, A, B, and C, promise to provide three unique tube saturation colours, state Tone Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having sampled the original hardware units at a multitude of different gain and compressor settings, they then utilised dynamic convolution<\/a><\/span><\/strong> technology to convert the samples into software recreations of the classic hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Firechild plugin also features a transparent mode<\/strong> that turns off the convolution and provides an output signal that is free of any added colour to give a \u201cclean\u201d signal. So, if you want the powerful result of the Firechild compressor without the tube colouring that comes with it, Tone Empire have you in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tone empire has also added knee control<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, to give you more control over the shape of the compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only this, but they’ve also included a side-chain <\/strong>section to the digital emulation. By using a high pass and low pass filter at a 24dB slope per octave, we can manipulate how the side-chain interacts with our signal, as well as side-chain gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a mix knob<\/strong> allows us to use the plugin for parallel processing. This is a solid win, as a bias knob allow us to dial in additional saturation on the tube compressors<\/a><\/span><\/strong> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an introductory price of $49<\/strong>, and $99 thereafter, Tone Empire is offering a plugin with maximum dynamic control capabilities for us to take charge of. We reckon the Firechild plugin compressor is what your plugin folder is craving at this very moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the cautious, and therefore sensible, producers among us, a 15-day trial is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firechild is compatible with both macOS and 64-bit Windows 10, in VST3, AU and AAX formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
