Parallel Aggressor简化了传统的并行压缩,基于复制同一信号同时进行压缩并融合起来的目的,还带来了一些新的变化。
Parallel Aggressor将音频分为三个相等的部分:Dry(原始信号)、Spank(重压缩副本)和Heat(高饱和副本)。Parallel Aggressor还提供独立的饱和和压缩版本,你可以根据需要对信号进行处理。在Parallel Aggressor直观的界面中,你可以用独立的滑块将三个版本的信号混合在一起。
Parallel Aggressor特点:
- 用主混音器平衡三个并行信号的电平。
- 使用Spank和Heat旋钮调制压缩音色效果。
- 旋转Spank / Heat旋钮,在橙色线之前使电平表达到峰值。
- Style旋钮包含声染色,给声音增添质感。
- Solo控件可单独监听每个并行信号。
- Auto Gain可使输出电平匹配输入电平。
- 三款皮肤。

Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a big mix sound. By duplicating the same audio into multiple copies and processing each duplicate with different levels of intensity, you can add more presence to a track – while still preserving its natural dynamics. The technique is a staple of modern music production.
Parallel Aggressor is based on this concept. But instead of routing any audio to external busses, the plugin hosts the parallel tracks internally – and has them calibrated for maximum impact from the get-go.
“Spank” offers a heavily compressed duplicate of your original track. “Heat” offers a heavily saturated duplicate. “Dry” is your clean audio. Work the two duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to squeeze every last drop of sonic juice out of your track!
Parallel Engine 1: Spank
”Spank” offers an addictively punchy parallel compression sound. Set the effect amount by dialing the main “Spank” wheel. Then use the style injection buttons to control the behavior of the algorithm. Finally, use the volume slider to set the amount of “Spank” / parallel compression you want blended in with your signal.
Style injection buttons: Extra Punch, Extra Smack, Sidechain Filter, Mono.
Parallel Engine 2: Heat
”Heat” is a warm, analog modeled, saturation algorithm with an aggressive bite. It will add some rich, non-linear harmonics to blend in with your signal. Set the saturation intensity by dialing the main “Heat” wheel – then use the style injection buttons to control the behavior of the engine. Finally, use the volume slider to set the amount of “Heat” / parallel saturation you want blended in with your signal.
Style injection buttons: Extra Hot, Tone, HP Filter, LP Filter.
Auto Gain
Engage “Auto Gain” to ensure that the combined level of the plugin’s three signals roughly matches the input/dry level. This allows you to experiment with different internal mix balances while keeping a consistent plugin output.
Setting the mix balance
Balance Parallel Aggressor’s three parallel signals with the volume faders in the center of the plugin interface.
Mixing with the meters
The plugin interface’s left and right side meters help you set the appropriate amount of “Spank” and “Heat” for any audio signal. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend you dial the Spank/Heat wheels to taste until their respective meters peak somewhere before the orange line.
Listening in solo
The solo buttons below the volume sliders let you monitor each parallel signal individually for fine-tuning purposes.
