S-SL G-COMP Bus Compressor Profiles for NAM

S-SL G-COMP Bus Compressor

Mix glue. Punch control. Classic bus compression.

The G-COMP is not just about compression — it’s about making a mix feel finished.

With its fast response and signature bus compression character, it tightens dynamics, enhances punch, and glues elements together into a cohesive whole.

What you actually get

A set of bus compressor profiles captured across different compression intensities and styles.

Profiles included:

• G-COMP – GBus Glue Light
  Subtle mix glue with minimal compression.

GR: Light / Ratio: Gentle / Attack: Slow / Release: Medium

• G-COMP – Mix Tightener
  Focused stereo buss control with improved cohesion and punch.

GR: Light–Medium / Ratio: Moderate / Attack: Medium / Release: Medium-fast

• G-COMP – Drum Buss Snap
  Punchy drum buss compression with energetic transient impact.

GR: Medium / Ratio: Moderate / Attack: Slow / Release: Fast

• G-COMP – Punch Glue
  Forward mix compression with added density and attack.

GR: Medium–Heavy / Ratio: Strong / Attack: Medium-slow / Release: Fast

• G-COMP – Vocal Buss Push
  Smooth buss compression that keeps vocals stable and upfront.

GR: Light–Medium / Ratio: Gentle / Attack: Medium / Release: Medium

• G-COMP – Bass Lock
  Tight low-end control with firm dynamic stability.

GR: Medium / Ratio: Strong / Attack: Fast / Release: Medium-fast

• G-COMP – Parallel Crush
  Aggressive parallel-style compression with explosive energy.

GR: Heavy / Ratio: Aggressive / Attack: Fast / Release: Fast

• G-COMP – Mix Buss Drive
  Dense stereo buss compression with enhanced forward motion.

GR: Medium–Heavy / Ratio: Strong / Attack: Medium / Release: Fast

• G-COMP – Vintage Glue
  Rounded transient shaping with classic analog-style buss cohesion.

GR: Medium / Ratio: Gentle / Attack: Slow / Release: Slow

• G-COMP – Modern Punch
  Clean, aggressive buss control with tight transient energy.

GR: Medium / Ratio: Strong / Attack: Slow / Release: Fast

How it behaves

• Mix elements are glued together cohesively
• Transients can be tightened or emphasized
• Compression character ranges from subtle to aggressive

Audio Demo

Compare the original hardware signal and the NAM profile across a range of sources — bass, guitar, synth, and more.
Each example demonstrates how closely the profile captures the tone, dynamics, and harmonic response of the hardware.
The NAM and hardware samples are gain-matched to allow for a more accurate evaluation of the capture’s fidelity.
For additional context, a dry (unprocessed) version is also included.

Why this capture is different

• Multiple compression intensities captured
• Consistent gain reduction targets
• Optimized for mix bus and drum bus applications

Waveform Comparison (Hardware vs NAM)

Below is a direct comparison between the original hardware signal and the NAM profile output.
This visualization highlights how accurately the compression behavior and response are preserved.

Technical notes

• Format: NAM (.nam)
• Sample Rate: 48kHz
• Capture Type: Real hardware
• Calibration: Studio-level gain staging

Gain Staging Advice

Our captures are pre-calibrated at -18 dBFS input level.
For best results, we recommend feeding the plugin with an input signal close to -18 dBFS.

Due to gain reduction during the profiling process, the output level of a loaded profile may be slightly lower than the original input signal.

For the most accurate comparison, we strongly recommend proper gain matching. Developing this habit is essential for critical listening and consistent mixing decisions.
