Fire The Bus+

Fire The Bus+ is the brand-new Acqua plugin (VST/VST3/AAX/AU) in the Fire series. It gives a uniform sound to your entire mix or master, thanks to its ability to “glue” all of your tracks together. It adds a cohesive timbre to your bus with just a few clicks, without changing your artistic vision, as its parameters can be finely adjusted via its sensitive, subtle settings.

Choose from four compressor models, each one based on our Hyper compression technology. Depending on which one you choose, it will greatly impact the tonality and timbre of your mix or master.

The result you’ll get with this user-friendly plugin is a full sound, with pleasantly round, controlled bass frequencies. And the presence of an adjustable HPF allows you to eliminate any unwanted “pumping.” Fire The Bus+ can even be used on single audio tracks to fatten their sound. It’s the perfect choice for those who seek a bus compressor with all the musicality of classic hardware, the clean sound of digital, an intuitive interface, low CPU consumption and an analog feel.

New Hyper Engine

Our standard compressors run at 22kHz regardless of sample rate or oversampling; this implies that the reduction, attack, and release curves are not calculated for every sample but for every n number of samples, where n depends on the sample rate. For example: on fast transients, the input level is evaluated correctly; however, the reduction is calculated after n samples, so the signal containing the transient is not compressed in time, meaning that the transient “escapes” compression.

In contrast, our new Hyper compression technology calculates the amount of compression as well as the attack and release curves at each sample, so that compression is applied immediately, rather than after n samples. The speed of these powerful new compressors can be increased even more by oversampling, yet the power consumption remains at 1/12th of our standard compressors.

Pretty amazing, right? You’ll definitely hear the difference.
