At 4:1, the compression becomes more obvious, and at 10:1, The Glue is basically a peak limiter. The classic three‑step ratio knob is positioned in the middle of the interface, and at its 2:1 setting a relatively subtle soft‑knee compression is applied. The two pretty much share the same settings except that there are additional attack and release settings in the plug‑in, along with a high‑pass side‑chain filter, Dry/Wet control, and compression Range control.
During the process of creation, an XLogic hardware unit was used to compare and tweak the performance of the plug‑in. Schematics from the SSL E‑series bus compressor have been used to build the digital model, but instead of modeling the non‑linearity of the VCAs, a 'perfect' VCA has been modelled, which makes The Glue sound more like the modern SSL XLogic G‑series compressor. The Glue is based on the highly acclaimed SSL bus compressor. The CEO and founder Andrew Simper started out making free VST plug‑ins under the name Vellocet in the late '90s, and later moved on to developing effect modules for FXpansion's highly acclaimed Guru and BFD2 drum instruments, before working on the same company's D‑CAM: Synth Squad, which received a rave review in the January issue of Sound On Sound. How does their plug‑in compare with established offerings from Waves and UA?Ĭytomic are a rather new company, but do not lack in experience when it comes to making plug‑ins. Cytomic have gone to great lengths to mimic the sound of the famous SSL bus compressor, with its unique ability to 'glue' things together.
