Full-Throttle Compression Mayhem — AnalogX Style
This one’s not for the faint of heart. Mike’s Smash City Part 1 Emulations is a brutal, beautiful collection of mix-busting emulations inspired by the gear preferences of California-based mixer Mike — a guy known for smashing transients, pinning meters, and breathing life into flat, flavourless digital tracks. If you’ve ever wanted to unleash pure "near" analog aggression in the box, this is the ticket.
Now Upgraded with Ethereum++
After extensive consultation with the world’s leading audio modelling specialists, we've upgraded this legendary pack with our new Ethereum++ architecture — offering even more realism, enhanced harmonic behaviour, and superior accuracy.
🌟 What’s Inside This updated pack includes emulations crafted from iconic compressors and channel strips, now also powered by the advanced Ethereum++ modelling tier:
- SHills VCA_VFA_FR (Gold / Diamond / Ethereum++)
- SHills VCA_FA_FR (Gold / Diamond / Ethereum++
- NV COMP 2264 FA_FR (Gold / Ethereum / Ethereum++)
- NV COMP 33609 FA_FR Heavy Limit (Gold / Ethereum / Ethereum++)
- NEVE Genesys Channel SWEET (Gold / Ethereum / Diamond / Ethereum++)
- NEVE Genesys Channel DRIVEN (Gold / Ethereum / Diamond / Ethereum++
These profiles range from super tight peak-taming tools to wide, musically-driven glue for drums, vocals, guitars, buses, or full mixes.
🪜 A Brief History
Each emulation in this pack pays homage to legendary compression and channel tone tools used in high-end studios around the world:
- The punchy VCA topology comes from a boutique dual-VU compressor/limiter known for its multi-stage compression options and aggressive personality. It’s a staple on modern mastering chains when you need both weight and character.
- The channel dynamics are lifted from a modern reimagining of a classic British console, beloved for its in-your-face, deep warm saturation.
- You’ll also find profiles inspired by the iconic 2254 and 33609-style compressors. These units have been relied on by top engineers for decades for their thick, rich compression and signature analog heft.
These aren’t just emulations—they’re a love letter to the gear that gets your mix over the line and into legendary status.
🔎 Why It Stands Out
- Built for loud, aggressive modern mixing
- Mix bus, drum bus, parallel, vocals—it handles it all
- From tasteful snap to total destruction
- The only pack that dares to go this hard inside Genesis
- Features Gold, Ethereum, Ethereum++, and Diamond emulations for tonal flexibility and CPU scaling
