REQ: HMD Rosetta Compressor
Reimagining Compression
The HMD Rosetta Compressor was designed to translate your sonic desires into actionable language. Instead of using the traditional terms like attack and release, we use words that actually correlate with the characteristics we want such as tight, open or aggressive. The waveform GUI will help you see what your doing to the audio with the parameters. Helping you to make better decisions. HMD Rosetta compressor can help guide you in learning how to use compression as well as break bad habits that we've developed. This compressor will speed up your workflow and show you the way.
TIGHT – OPEN
Tight and open relate to attack. Tight is a fast attack and open is a slow attack.
MORE EFX – NO EFX
Threshold.
AGGRESSIVE – SMOOTH
Aggressive and smooth relate to release. Aggressive is a fast release and smooth is a slow release.
LOUDER – SILENCE
Louder and silence relate to make up gain.
TRANSPARENT BUTTON
The transparent button makes the compressor behave normally.
HYPE BUTTON
The hype button adds a bit of saturation to the signal to give you a more transient and thicker sound.
Light -> Medium -> Heavy -> Smash
Refers to the ratio of the compressor
Light = 2:1
Medium = 4:1
Heavy = 8:1
Smash 50:1
AUTO GAIN BUTTON
The auto gain function compensates for volume as it is lost by gain reduction.
