The Herd V2 brings the three compressor engines Opto, VCA and Devil together in one plug-in, from subtle mix glue to explosive parallel compression.

Blend the smooth musical character of Opto, the punchy precision of VCA and the gritty attitude of Devil into your own compression textures. Heavily compressed audio can be mixed with the dry signal to preserve punch and dynamics without complicated routing. Mid/side processing, extended tone control and Attack and Release give you control from tight transient work to smooth, musical movement. The plug-in suits drums, vocals, bass and mix buses.
