Bus Driver is an optical compressor that provides a wide range of compression effects, reminiscent of the best old compressors made in the 60s.
Compression is one of those studio processes that is often taken for granted and not usually used for its full potential. Today's producers think nothing of inserting compressors into every single channel of their DAW when mixing, but old school engineers had to learn how to make the most of just a few compression units and this made them learn them inside out. to use them to your best advantage. Bus Driver is modeled on the 'golden age' classics of tube compressors.
Also included in Bus Driver is a Tube-driver Saturation feature. It allows you to add the sound of a vintage tube amp giving you the different electronic characteristics of triode, tetrode, and pentode vacuum tubes. So you can add the vintage warmth of those classic tube models (eg ECC83, 12AX7, etc...) to your tracks, or on your mixing bus!
Nomad Factory have designed a Stage Soft-Clipping output for eliminate digital clipping at any output level and produce a smooth distortion characteristic. This feature is in addition to the Tube-Driver Modeling Saturation included in the Bus Driver.Product features
