Precision Buss Compressor
-
Original UA design dual-VCA dynamic processor for transparent gain reduction.
The Precision Buss Compressor is a dual-VCA-type dynamic processor that yields modern, transparent gain reduction characteristics. It is specifically designed to “glue” mix elements together for that cohesive and polished sound typical of master section console compressors.
A flexible and intuitive tool, the Precision Buss Compressor is intended primarily for controlling the final output of your mix, but can be usefully applied to a variety of sources from drum buses or overheads to vocal groups, or even as a channel compressor on individual tracks.Mix with UA’s workhorse transparent dynamics processor
Set a custom fade-out or fade-in of the mix between 1 and 60 seconds long
Use the High Pass Filter to keep low-end punchy when compressing a mix
Harness the Mix control for "parallel" style dynamics control
“I really love the Precision Buss Compressor. It's very simple to set up and does the job without getting in the way.”

Precision Buss Compressor
I bought it as an alternative to The Glue, which I initially used on the Master buss, tho' only to give the mixes a bit of weight pre mastering, then used it on pretty much everything. The same with the PBC - I seem to be using it on everything now. I did an A/B of a mix where I duplicated The Glue settings with the PBC. What I used to think was mellowness tying the mix together seems like a lack of clarity - the UAD compressor is a lot better.

...This one's got the stuff. In spades. Other supposedly "precise" compressors are green with jealousy when it comes to this compressor. What more is there to say? I could go on for hours about this plugin, but I won't. It's THAT good!

Get some clarity and glue yer mix together
Like all Precision stuff, this compressor is hyper-transparent and does what it says on the tin. Great sounding compression with very little added character. Even has that cool Fade button, haha.

The first pluging you must have!
After working with, shadow hills, Elysia alpha , SSL, Neve, I must tell you, I beleive this is THE BEST compressor for my mastering. In my idea, there is no competitor for it. Thank you UAD for creating this amazing plugin. I really Love it!

I like this easy to use compressor for the transparency and option to let the low end through. If I was to speak to an update it would be the option to unlink the left and right.

Good for 2 bus or master
It sounds little bit different from ssl buss comp, more transparent, which makes him better choise for mastering purposes
S. Sadre
Very nice subtle filter with first class bus compressor.
Well worth the purchase, works very well on Logic x summing stacks as well as drum buses et cetera, nice warm transience. That said I’m also very impressed with the precision plugins.

A powerful "tool" for the learned
...Love this little worker bee. A very powerful "tool" for the learned. This plug puts that reel "sticky— icky" on your mix! It just glues everything together by adding sheen, and delivers that subtle boost. This is Precision, with lots of bearing. Thank yoU.AD!Love
