baby audio's parallel aggressor plugin makes it very easy for you to add color
and parallel compression to your tracks i'm zane
welcome to simple green tech and today i'm doing a quick review of baby audio's
parallel aggressor plugin i've included a link to it down in the description so
you can easily click and head over there to check out some
more information on this plugin or download the free trial and give it a
bit of a test drive in your music productions
it goes for around $49 regularly but i've also included a link to the listing over
on plugin boutique just in case there's some sales going on
over there now let's give the parallel aggressor a bit of a listen and then
i'll get into some more of the details plus do some more
audio tests in just a bit
in addition to parallel aggressor baby audio have another really good parallel
compression plugin called i heart ny and i reviewed that one
before i'll link to that review down in the description but
what makes parallel aggressor so different well compared to this one i
heart ny is a fairly clean compression plugin and
it just splits your signal in two sending one signal through the spank
component and the other signal goes directly out
but parallel aggressor allows you to add a lot more character
and as the name suggests it's aggressive it splits your signal into three sending
one through to the spank another one through the heat and then
the third one is dry and you can adjust the levels of
each signal plus you also have the spank and heat
dials to dial in the intensity of each effect
and of course there's more that we'll look at in just a bit but right now
let's talk about the spank and heat effects spank offers
a punchy compression designed to adapt to your audio signal
baby audio claim that parallel aggressor begins
where their iheart ny plugin ended with improvements in the sound quality signal
detection and flexibility basically what spank
does is it gives you a heavily compressed
duplicate of the original signal so let's give this a bit of a listen
just with the spank enabled and that's what's great about this plugin
you don't need to use spank and heat at the same time it can be used
very subtly or crazy all in your face so here's a test of spank
now next up is the heat section and according to baby audio
heat is a warm analog modeled saturation algorithm
with an aggressive bite it's based on the tape saturator from their super vhs
plugin but it's being rewritten and optimized
for the parallel aggressor release and i love the saturation from the super
vhs plugin so this is going to be great here let's
give it a listen with just the heat section on its own
so
now let's dive full in and dial in some settings with both the spank
and heat enabled
so
you can start a revolution just remember that rock and roll ain't
noise pollution want that rockin attitude
if not us then you
if you want a plug-in that's versatile and can enhance your tracks in many
different ways then baby audio's parallel aggressor
plug-in might be for you and if you want to check out even more
