Contemporary mixes need punch. And to achieve maximum impact, without killing a track's dynamics, engineers turn to parallel compression (a technique that blends a dry track with a heavily compressed duplicate). IHNY-2 hosts a plug-and-play parallel configuration so you don’t have to set up any extra routing in your DAW. 

he plugin is purpose-designed for slamming your tracks in parallel and it will hit harder than your typical go-to compressors. It is not subtle, but a dedicated tool for adding energy and “slap” to drums, mix buses or even the master bus (if you dare!)

IHNY-2 is an evolution of our very first plugin, I Heart NY. The original was a favorite with many users and was picked for the SOS Awards by Sound On Sound Magazine. V2 ships with new features, surgical control – and improvements in sound.

 

  • Industry-standard tool for extreme punch and parallel compression
  • Internal signal flow designed specifically for fast parallel compression
  • XY pad controls compression intensity (X-axis) and dry/wet blend (Y-axis) in one motion
  • Autogain algorithm for consistent output level
  • AGR (Adjusted Gain Reduction) meter for ideal compression sweet spot
  • Modern, aggressive compression engine optimised for clarity at high gain reduction
  • Ideal for drums, vocals, busses and full masters
  • Blends heavily compressed “wet” signal with uncompressed “dry” signal internally
  • Designed to maximise punch without killing dynamics
  • Wet signal intentionally voiced for hard-hitting impact
  • Attack and Release controls
  • Ratio control from subtle to extreme
  • Punch control to preserve and emphasise transients
  • Harmonics: dynamic saturation tied to gain reduction
  • Shape: adds a “smiley EQ curve” for enhanced lows and highs
  • Tilt: targets more compression to low or high end
  • Lo + Hi Preserve filters to protect bass or highs from compression
  • Classic compressor parameters with extended tone-shaping tools
