More Punch, Glue, Power and Clarity for your drums - all in one plugin.
Top mixers know the secret to a competitive drum mix lies in the perfect blend of bus compression, parallel processing, saturation, and EQ. Black Salt Audio have distilled decades of pro-level techniques into one ultra-simple plugin that delivers the punch, energy, and edge your drums need to stand out.
Simplified Drum Compression
At the heart of BSA Drum Bus lies simplicity and power, designed to energize & glue your drums with just a few controls. They've already dialled in the time-tested compression settings for modern drums, so you can add punch, warmth and tightness in seconds without worrying about ratios or milliseconds.
Two Precise Modes
Standard mode offers a clean, transparent compression that tightens your drum mix and creates cohesion and glue across your drum bus. Slammed mode delivers aggressive, in-your-face compression to achieve that punchy, larger-than-life drum sound you've heard on your favorite records. Perfect for your parallel drum bus.
Auto Gain
Auto Gain built in to each control for easy A/B'ing and no wasted time.
Color Your Drums
Fine-tune and shape your drum tone with the TONE and SALT controls. Use the Tone knob to go brighter and more present, or smoother and warmer. The Salt control adds flavor to your drums, subtly enhancing key frequencies that add power, clarity, and punch to any drum bus.
Saturation Tailored for Bigger Drums
The heat control adds tasteful saturation, enriching your drums with fitting harmonic content depending on which mode you're in. Heat in STANDARD mode adds warmth and fullness. In SLAMMED mode, it adds grit and edge.
