Transparent, punchy, and smarter than your average VCA.
The AnalogX A-Smart Compressor pack brings you a fully profiled selection of emulations inspired by one of the most highly regarded transparent compressors of the modern era. Built to handle everything from subtle master bus glue to aggressive drum shaping, this compressor has earned legendary status among engineers for its uncanny ability to sound “finished” without ever sounding squashed.
We've captured the original device’s full range of settings, including multiple ratio types, sidechain HPF options (65Hz, 130Hz, No HPF), and stereo/dual mono variants — ensuring the flexibility and punch that made this compressor a studio staple is now available to you in Genesis.

🧬 A Brief History
First introduced in the early 2000s, this ultra-flexible VCA compressor quickly became the secret weapon of mastering engineers and mix pros alike. It was designed with an intelligence rarely seen in analog gear — able to “listen” and react in musically intuitive ways, thanks to a unique program-dependent release and ratio-based architecture.
The original unit became a mainstay across genres — from polished pop and EDM to cinematic film scores and jazz — due to its clarity, low harmonic distortion, and ability to compress without losing punch or life. With multiple attack and release shapes and sidechain filters, it rivalled many compressors that cost 3x more.
