New York-Style Parallel Compression

BABY Audio, a newly founded audio plugin developer based in NYC, has released their first product: A parallel compression plugin called I Heart NY. Here’s the details in their own words…

What is it?
True ‘New York style’ parallel compression — with an addictively punchy flavor.

How does it work?
‘I Heart NY’ creates a copy of the incoming audio signal - hosted within the plugin - and lets you spank it hard before mixing it in.
This replicates a true parallel compression workflow, but with the ease of avoiding complicated routing.

How does it sound?
The ‘SPANK’ knob controls an adaptive algorithm with a unique sonic character. It can range from a subtle punch to ‘spanking galore’, depending on your taste. And sanity…

What is it for?
Mac & PC, Vst, Vst3, AU and AAX, 64-bit and 32-bit.

Who made it?
BABY Audio is based in New York City, founded by a European team.
We make professional toys for music production.
