Grey is available as a suite that includes two different plugins: Grey (standard version) and Grey Ultra (full version, with Metering System with Real-Time Waveform display and Knee display).

The Grey suite accurately replicates this vibrant VCA compression while also introducing new features designed for modern flexibility, catering to the needs of today's studios. With this plugin, you can effortlessly capture the iconic compressor sound that has graced numerous hit tracks.

The Grey suite is an "Over Easy" plugin, making it perfect for studios seeking a user-friendly tool that provides instant results with minimal effort. It shines handling vocals and dealing with tight, impactful percussive sounds, reminiscent of the iconic drum compression from the 1970s. Its brilliance truly emerges when confronted with aggressive transient sources, producing the renowned and legendary "thwack" effect.

Additionally, Grey boasts an enhanced graphical interface that adheres to Acustica's latest quality and performance standards. It utilizes the cutting-edge 'Aria' engine, which supports dynamic and real-time metering displays, and our advanced Anti-Aliasing algorithm.

If you are looking for an ultimate Classic 70's sound with both substantial 'brick wall' limiting and gentle soft knee compression, the Grey fits the bill. Handle it with care!
