Get Transparent Gain Reduction with UA’s Original Dual-VCA Dynamic Processor

The Precision Buss Compressor plug-in lets you “glue” mix elements together for that cohesive and polished sound typical of master section console compressors. A flexible and intuitive tool, the Precision Buss Compressor is intended primarily for controlling the final output of your mix, but can be usefully applied to a variety of sources from drum buses or overheads to vocal groups, or even as a channel compressor on individual tracks.

What They Say

I really love the Precision Buss Compressor. It's very simple to set up and does the job without getting in the way.

    Precision Buss Compressor

    I bought it as an alternative to The Glue, which I initially used on the Master buss, tho' only to give the mixes a bit of weight pre mastering, then used it on pretty much everything. The same with the PBC - I seem to be using it on everything now. I did an A/B of a mix where I duplicated The Glue settings with the PBC. What I used to think was mellowness tying the mix together seems like a lack of clarity - the UAD compressor is a lot better.

    Man, you TALK about PRECISION....

    ...This one's got the stuff. In spades. Other supposedly "precise" compressors are green with jealousy when it comes to this compressor. What more is there to say? I could go on for hours about this plugin, but I won't. It's THAT good!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
