Cytomic The Glue Free Download is an analog modelled compressor plug-in based on The classic 80’s British big console buss compressor with some handy additional features.
The compressor action is smooth and transparent as it uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulators, but optimized to run fast. In addition to the regular compressor controls it has: Mix / Range / Sidechain High Pass knobs, External Sidechain support, Peak Clip, and Advanced Oversampling.
An unavoidable result of processing signals with a computer is aliasing. The Glue allows reduction of aliasing by any amount you want with very high quality oversampling filters. There are seperate settings for realtime use and offline renders.
The recommended settings for Cytomic The Glue Free Download are x2 for realtime and x8 for offline render, but feel free to change these depending on the material and strength of compressions. As a rough guide, if you are compressing “dull” signals like bass guitars then you won’t need oversampling. For brighter signals the default of x2 works well, and for very bright signals, or for agressive compression settings you may want to switch to x4 for realtime. You can also copy the current oversampling settings to all other instances of The Glue to quickly hear the difference it makes in your project – so you can either save cpu, or increase quality at the cost of more cpu easily.
If you want high quality oversampling, but also want to have low latency then you can choose between the minimum phase (lowest latency) or intermediate phase (medium latency) instead of using the linear phase (highest latency). All oversampling methods produce an integer number of samples latency at DC, which reported to the DAW for correction, but for the best possible phase alignment of upper frequencies use the linear phase mode.
