The "Mega-Compressor" for Mixing & Mastering
Tiger is a powerhouse dynamic processor built on Acustica’s Hyper technology. It consolidates an extensive collection of their most acclaimed compressor models into a single, highly flexible interface, making it a "best-of" suite for dynamics.
Key Features
-
Vast Model Library: Includes emulations of classic VCA, FET, Opto, and Vari-Mu compressors derived from Acustica's top-tier plugins (like Sand, Pink, and Grey).
-
Morphing Control: Allows you to transform the plugin's behavior smoothly from a transparent compressor to a brickwall limiter or a rich saturator.
-
Advanced Detector Logic: Features the "Power" control, which blends fast and slow detectors to manage transients with surgical precision while maintaining musical sustain.
-
Ultra & Aria Engine: The Tiger Ultra versions feature the Aria engine, providing high-definition real-time metering, waveform displays, and ultra-low aliasing for mastering-grade results.
-
Hyper-Efficiency: Despite its sonic depth, Tiger is optimized for low CPU usage, allowing you to run multiple instances even in complex mixing sessions.
Pro Tip: Use the Deep Space control when working with extremely fast attack times. It is designed to optimize distortion in the sidechain path, keeping your low-end clean even under heavy compression.
