Get ready for a hard-hitting compression experience like no other with IHNY-2, the industry’s premier heavy compressor. Designed to add unbeatable power to your tracks and help them truly sing, IHNY-2 utilizes a unique parallel operation. This feature allows for a higher level of compression without compromising the dynamic integrity of your original track. Brace yourself for an ultra-aggressive compression sound, tailored to amplify your tracks’ power like never before.
Parallel compression is not just a technique; it’s a revolution. By maintaining an untouched, dry signal and blending it with a heavily compressed version, IHNY-2 ensures a parallel compression workflow that is smooth, efficient, and perfectly suited to the demands of contemporary mixing. This approach allows you to retain the original dynamics of your audio signal while applying heavy compression to another copy, enabling the hard-hitting sound you desire without sacrificing dynamics.
IHNY-2 is a superior and significantly upgraded V2 of our inaugural plugin, I Heart NY, otherwise known as the Heart NY. With meticulous precision, innovative features, and a distinct focus on parallel compression for making tracks slam, IHNY-2 transcends the capabilities of typical compressors to produce a punchier, more vibrant sound. This isn’t about subtle adjustments; it’s a tool meticulously crafted to inject that satisfying “slap” into drums, mix buses, and even dare we say it, the master bus!
The original I Heart NY plugin rapidly gained a significant following and secured a prestigious spot in the SOS Awards hosted by Sound On Sound Magazine. Building upon this success, IHNY-2 brings new features to the table, alongside precise control capabilities and an enhanced sound quality that’s second to none.
IHNY-2 prides itself on a unique sonic signature, seamlessly merging the accuracy of digital algorithms with a slight touch of analog-inspired non-linearity. Experience an aggressive, surgical compression style that morphs into a full-blown saturation mode as you tweak the ‘Harmonics’ control.
Designed with contemporary genres in mind, IHNY-2 is optimized to deliver loudness and impact without sacrificing clarity. Don’t be misled by its modern edge; the plugin draws some of its inspiration from the affordable DBX units that reigned in the 80s and 90s. As a result, IHNY-2 echoes the hard-hitting nature of our favourite old hardware compressors but avoids signal destruction, even at high compression levels.
IHNY-2 is not your average plugin. It’s not designed for “smooth” work. But when power and heavy compression are what you seek, there’s simply no competition. It takes everything that made I Heart NY a favorite and elevates it to a whole new level!
