Two Compression Styles - Targeted Control for Perfect Drums
Bus Glue Andrew Wade Drums features two different compressors, “Punchy” and "Classic" which give you two different flavors of dynamic control. They can be used separately or together for a wide range of tonal options. When paired with the streamlined UI, you can achieve highly energetic drum mixes without adjusting complex controls, so you stay in your creative flow.
Sculpt your drum sound with dedicated Low and High tone controls that subtly boost the specific frequency ranges. Unlike standard EQ, these processors are designed to enhance the natural character of your drums without sounding processed. This gives you the power to create vintage warmth or modern aggression with simple, intuitive controls calibrated specifically for drum bus applications.
The focused Transient Shaper is precisely tuned for drum bus applications, enhancing the attack of your drums without creating nasty or undesirable artifacts. Unlike general-purpose transient processors, this plugin understands how drum transients interact in a mix, allowing you to add impact and definition while maintaining a natural sound. In just a few clicks, you can turn lifeless drums into in-your-face performances that make the listener feel every hit.
The custom Saturation processor adds harmonics and energy to your drum bus, creating that elusive “glued together” sound that defines professional productions. Unlike standard saturation tools, this processor has been specifically calibrated for drum frequency content, adding warmth and character without harshness or distortion.
Bus Glue Andrew Wade Drums encapsulates the exact processing chain Andrew Wade uses to create his renowned drum sounds on platinum records. Each parameter has been carefully calibrated to deliver his signature combination of power, punch, and definition – the driving force behind modern rock and metal productions.
Bus Glue Andrew Wade Drums takes solid drum tracks and turns them into standout performances. Built on proven mix techniques, this plugin delivers the punch, clarity, and cohesion that give your drums a commanding presence in the mix. It's the difference between sounding good—and sounding finished.
