The compressors built into the stereo buss of certain British mixing consoles are well-respected and a damn fine audio resource. These have been recreated in software by URS and just made available in Audio Units format for Mac OSX.
The URS Classic Console Compressor Bundle digitally re-creates the sound of two popular British console compressors, one from the 1970's and one from the 1980's, and includes two plug-ins:
The URS 1970 Compressor and the The URS 1980 Compressor
The URS 1970 is smooth and warm, and the URS 1980 is snappy and more aggressive.
Both feature up to 192k sampling and 64-bit double-precision processing. Separate compressor and brickwall limiter, internal sidechain with highpass and lowpass filtering.
Each plug-in includes Compressor / Llimiter / Side Chain version and a Compressor Only version.

• Bundle price $449 Native Audio Units - includes RTAS.
• 1970 and 1980 sold individually for $249.99 each
• 10 Day Demo and purchase now available - iLok required.
