JST Bus Glue BG-Drums is a flagship compressor from Joey Sturgis Tones designed specifically to address drum bus compression needs in any mix. This workhorse audio plugin brings a variety of flavors and character to your drum bus, unmatched by any other drum bus processor.
The foundation of any song is the beat and the drum sound that plays that beat. JST Bus Glue BG-Drums is the first of many in a series of bus compressors designed to "glue" each of your mix buses together in exciting ways. With JST Bus Glue BG-Drums, not only will you have full control over the dynamic gel that drives the punch in your drum bus, but you'll also discover new and interesting sounds that bring a whole new life to your mixes.
Once you've selected a compression mode, dial in how hard it works with a straightforward Comp Knob from Low to Medium to Max strength.
Blend the compressed and uncompressed signals for parallel compression and punch with the Mix Knob.
For proper gain staging, use the Output Knob to set the perfect output level from the plugin.
See the amount of gain reduction applied by your compressor and use the meter screw to transform JST Bus Glue BG-Drums from a fixed-threshold compressor to a user-defined threshold value.
Bus Glue is a series of Bus Compressors designed to excel at controlling the dynamics of specified mix bus groups in a mix using a variety of compression and saturation types combined with over a decade of mixing knowledge and lots of practical field testing across several genres of music.
The goal was to come up with a set of compressors that could do something other compressors weren’t made to do. Most compressor designs are too broad in application and that is why you typically need to stack compressors or insert other processors in your bus chain to achieve desired results.
However, Bus Glue compressors are about as specific as you can get by design, but that’s what makes them so useful. By using Bus Glue as your dynamic control across your various mix busses, you’ll expand your dynamic palette while crafting a whole new sound that is unrivaled by other compression processors.

JST was founded by music producer Joey Sturgis. He has also co-founded URM Academy, Drumforge, Riffhard and has contributed massively to music creators all over the world.
