An updated spin on a long-time studio standard, the Slate Digital Custom Opto Compressor plug-in features the rich, smooth character of 2A-style hardware compression and a handful of welcome controls not found on the original units. This combination of old-school vibe and on-demand tweakability makes the Custom Opto a versatile and desirable dynamics processor for music producers, mix engineers, and beatmakers who do their work in a DAW rather than using a rack of outboard gear.
As seen on 2A-style compressors, Custom Opto has peak-reduction and output-gain knobs and a glowing VU meter. Unlike the vintage equipment, Custom Opto offers adjustable circuit response speed, ratio, and four tone modes plus a Flat setting, allowing it to not only tame peaks, but also shift the track’s timbral impact. Additionally, it provides built-in parallel compression via a mix knob, and switchable stereo linking for use on stems and full mixes.
Souped-Up Dynamics Processor
Slate Digital modified one of the most classic vintage opto compressors in history by adding timing and ratio controls, plus four new tone settings, so you can shape your sound to perfection in seconds.
Hot Rod Your Sound
Decide how quickly the circuit responds via the speed control, and dial in just the right amount of compression with the ratio. Get all the smoothness of a classic opto with the controls you need to hot rod your sound.
Dial In Your Tone
Choose from four new custom vibes to breathe life into your mix. Open up your top end with Airy, take out harsh frequencies with Smooth, bring snap and punch with Aggro, or add vintage fatness with Warm.
Dynamic Duo
FG-2A (available separately) gives you that smooth, classic 2A sound that’s been shaping music for over half a century. Custom Opto goes even further and lets you shape your tracks, including full mixes, to perfection.
DAW Compatibility
With support for AAX, Audio Units, VST2, and VST3 plug-in formats, Custom Opto is ready for use in your favorite Mac- or Windows-based DAW.
