CLINCH
A bus compressor that shows you
what it is doing.
00CLINCH
Glue
you can see.
A VCA bus compressor for drum buses, mix buses and groups. Most bus compressors ask you to trust your ears and a needle. CLINCH shows you what it takes, when it takes it, and which part of the mix made it react.
01Hear it
One drum bus.
Every move.
Real renders from CLINCH on the same drum bus, level matched so you hear the compression and not the volume. Switch while it plays; the loop keeps its place.

02Compress
Set the glue.
Watch it hold.
Grey is the drum bus going in, copper is what comes out. Move THRESHOLD and RATIO and the screen draws the gain reduction over the last four seconds, the way CLINCH does.
03Sidechain
Shape what it hears.
Not what you hear.
S/C HPF, S/C LPF and a bell shape only the detector. Cut the lows and the kick stops pumping the bus. TRIGGERED BY shows how much of the reaction comes from LOW, MID and HIGH; LISTEN lets you hear that signal.
04Finish
Stereo, color,
quality.
STEREO works on left and right or on mid and side, and LINK runs from one shared detector to two. COLOR stays CLEAN or adds a gentle saturation on ECO. QUALITY oversamples from 1x to 8x for cleaner fast settings.

06Questions
Questions.
Answers.
Where does it go?
On drum buses, the mix bus and groups: anywhere you want parts to move together.
Can I key it from another track?
Yes. EXT S/C keys CLINCH from another track, and S/C HPF, S/C LPF and the bell shape what it reacts to.
Does it add latency?
0 samples at 1x, and 35, 41 or 44 samples at 2x, 4x and 8x. Your DAW compensates for it.
Which systems does it run on?
Mac: VST3 and Audio Unit, macOS 11 or later, Apple Silicon. Windows: VST3, Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
