Gluon
52.7 MB
Free Bus Compressor with Multi-Instance Control. Bring a mix together, give drums more punch, or blend in a little extra density. An independent take on British console bus compression — with connected control across your Gluon instances.
Open Gluon Map from any instance to see the settings and levels of connected instances. Adjust them individually, or use Global Control to make relative changes across them — lower every threshold by 1 dB, for example — without opening a pile of plugin windows. Remote controls and meters work even when those windows are closed.
Press Learn and play ten seconds of your material. Gluon compares the input with the compressed blend and sets a fixed MakeUp gain to bring their perceived levels closer. The gain then stays put while you listen and fine-tune.
The independent output stage offers Hard Clipper, Soft Clipper and Limiter modes, with Off / 2× / 4× / 8× oversampling. You can use it with or without the compressor.
You also get:
– Expanded attack, ratio and release choices, including Auto release.
– Dry/wet mixing and adjustable compression range.
– External sidechain, HP/BP/LP sidechain filters and stereo link.
– A/B comparison, Undo/Redo and user presets.
– Five factory presets as starting points.
– Light and dark themes, with interface scales from 0.75× to 2×.
