• Demo • Features • Testimonial • Professionals •. • 'What I like about this plugin is that you can easily go overboard, so it's absolutely all you'll need for compression. The body feature is calibrated just right to fatten up the vocals without making them sound muffled or boxy. The plugin's ease of use takes out the technicality and allows you to be quick, creative and to get on with your mixing.' ~ Andrew Wade / Producer, Engineer () 'Thanks, Joey Sturgis. You just tripled my workload because now I have to make sure my clients sound three times as great! Seriously, there should be a huge buzz about this! GRD gives the vocal track an authenticity like never before.

It sounds as good prolly better than the real deal. What could be better than better? This is def a game changer that I will be talking up for a while.' ~ Melissa Cross / The Zen of Screaming () Examples. • Includes • Requirements • Compatibility • Legal • Audio Plugin (single user license) Manual • A computer with Intel or AMD compatible processor, Windows or Mac OSX operating system, and a compatible DAW installed (check which plugin formats your DAW supports).

Visually, a single large VU lights up when the unit is engaged, indicating up to -20 of gain reduction. Curiously, this On (bypass) control is post Input level (-96 to +24 dB), which allows for easier in/out comparisons. There is no Threshold control, so Input works in accordance with Slay (ratio) to achieve gain reduction. Slay also seems to add distortion on its own, as ratios are increased. This distortion is further controlled by some interesting options; the output Gain control (from 0 to +36 dB) begins to saturate at +27 dB (with no worries as it’s marked on the legend and numerical control values can be manually typed in, an option I highly value). Its distortion/saturation isn’t the bright/irritating type; it’s more thick and wooly so that Body control is welcome, with its ability to roll off up to -10 dB of bottom end. All this sonic color screams for parallel processing and the Mix control provides such blending.

Chennai City Road Map there. If that's not enough, there is a Lo-Fi switch that engages that classic “big mid peak cradled by two bandpasses” for easy walkie-talkie and AM radio effects. Clean bass DI turns into a growly behemoth using the same configuration as above, albeit without much of the body rolled-off. Already distorted guitars can be further dirtied (without top-end nastiness or bloated mud) by using a little Slay or Gain saturation, a touch of Body filtering and approximately a 90/10 dry/wet blend at Mix. Whole mixes (or subgroups) can be saturated or overdriven in a similar way, although such sensitive work can get out of hand easily and patience is required. Like all of JST’s plug-ins, the prices are all lower than you’d expect; at $59, Gain Reduction Deluxe is either a fun diversion, a versatile tool you'll use daily, or a secret weapon (if you're into metal, hardcore and punk).
