Arturia Comp DIODE-609 Stereo Compressor Plug-in Download Arturia

Comp DIODE-609 is a re-engineered software emulation of the legendary Neve 33609 Diode Compressor and Limiter, famed for its warm, smooth, and versatile stereo response. For mixing and mastering alike, reinforce your sound with the spirit of analog dynamics.

The Neve 33609 was originally designed in the ‘80s. Since then, it’s seen a number of model variations, but the core design – and, crucially, the iconic sound – has remained the same. Truly a studio classic that has stood the test of time, and not just in its industry-wide usage; it remains in production by AMS Neve to this day. From Daft Punk to Coldplay, James Newton Howard to Michael Buble, this dual-channel compressor and limiter has been the dynamic backbone of studio recordings for almost half a century.

Its unmistakably creamy response, simple design, and huge sonic flexibility has cemented its reputation as the gold standard – modern music simply wouldn’t be the same without it. The end result is a professional, intuitive effect that efficiently enforces the laws of mix dynamics, working sonic wonders with the smallest of tweaks – retrofitted with razor-sharp contemporary features to suit every modern production need. From protective mix gluing to maximizing drum bus punchiness, this unique diode-bridge effect stands out from the compressor crowd as a workhorse processor for any audio application – and Comp DIODE-609 brings it into the virtual production realm like never before.
