Comp VCA-65
Comp VCA-65 is the Arturia take on
the less common DBX 165A, a compressor known for its aggressive, punchy,
and tight sonic signature. It's the easiest of the three compressors to operate,
thanks to its auto attack/decay detection. The Comp VCA-65 sounds bold
and imparts a thick analog fingerprint
on anything in its path. The peak stop
limiter is excellent for adding a bit of
edge, or even full-on saturation. The
saturation sounds fantastic for dirtying
up drums or vocals. I love that even
when pushed to its limits, Comp VCA65 doesn't come unglued-it continues
to feel tight and punchy.
Comp TUBE-STA
The third compressor included in the
FX Collection is the Comp TUBE-STA,
which is inspired by the original Gates
STA-Level. Arturia rightfully describes
this as a secret weapon for bass and
vocals. It has an innate ability to make
anything sound huge, and it imparts a
warm harmonic richness to the signal.
Wrap-up
The Arturia FX Collection offers a
toolset with incredible depth and sound
quality. The hardware emulations are
among the best I've heard, and the inspiring and original parameters expand
their reach with even more possibilities.
One of the underlying themes that struck
me about this bundle is how well thought
out it is in terms of sonic range. It's not
easy to cover all these bases comprehensively, especially with only three
plugins for each. Arturia has successfully done so, in the forms of both studio
cornerstones and original designs. The
plugins are CPU-friendly, so load up as
many as you see fit. There's not much
to not like about the FX Collection. The
mileage you can get out of it is quite
impressive. I can now confirm, these are
plugins that You'll Actually Use.
Price: $399 (Individual plugins: $99)
