Danish Blue - 1B Compressor Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Danish Blue: 1B Compressor Emulations (GENESIS)

Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz | Powered by Ethereum-X

Smooth. Vocal. Legendary. Now Ethereum-X Enhanced.
The iconic Danish vocal compressor is back — and this time, it’s powered by Ethereum-X, our latest and most advanced model architecture to date.

With full-resolution attack/release modelling, beautifully reactive saturation, and zero-compromise fidelity, this pack is designed for those who demand pro-grade near analog compression inside the box. Whether you're smoothing out vocals, adding lift to keys, or gluing a bus together, the Danish Blue gives you true hardware soul with modern control.

🎚️ What’s Inside
This pack now includes Ethereum-X2 versions of every profile, capturing the finest details of the original unit’s dynamic behavior, timing, and tone:

• 3-1 | SA-FR | Manual – Slow attack, fast release
• 4-1 | MA-FR | Manual – Medium attack, fast release
• 4-1 | MFA-MFR | Manual – Medium-fast attack and release
• 5-1 | MFA-FR | Manual – Fast attack and tighter release with added presence
• 10-1 | FA-FR | Manual – Maximum compression with snappy articulation
• B-6 | Limit Mode – 10:1 hard-limiting for vocal presence
• B-7 | Limit Mode Alt Curve – Subtle character variation
• B-8 | COM 6:1 | Manual – Bus-style compression with musical curve
• B-9 to B-12 | Fixed Curve Series – 1.1ms attack with 50ms release
• CL1B_Hold_Me_Closer – Vocal-focused preset for mix-ready warmth
• CL1B_Steady_Vocal – Smooth and intimate, perfect for lead vocals

All profiles are designed to run beautifully in Genesis with clean gain staging and rich harmonic behavior.

🧬 A Brief History
Inspired by a compressor born in Denmark and revered worldwide, this unit has become the definitive vocal tool in modern pop, R&B, and cinematic production. Known for its soft-knee compression, elegant tube-like behavior, and luxurious sonic footprint, it’s been used on thousands of hit records. Now faithfully recreated in Ethereum-X2, you can use it anywhere, instantly.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Powered by Ethereum-X2 – The latest AnalogX model tier, offering ultra-realistic near analog response
• Vocals, Buses, Everything – Flexible enough for instruments, mix buses, and full productions
• Real Hardware Curves – Manual and fixed mode variations that emulate the true program-dependent behavior
• Built for Genesis – .gen format only, optimized for instant workflow
• Pro-Ready Tone with No Hassle – Just load and dial it in

⚙️ How to Use It
To get the best results:

• Target Input Level: -18dBFS RMS, peaking around -12dBFS
• Set Genesis Input to -24 (Fully Left)
• Push the Red Gain Knob until you hit your required compression sweet spot
• Trim with Output Control to ensure pre/post level match
• Save Presets in Genesis for repeatable recall
• Or print tracks when CPU matters — Ethereum-X profiles are worth it
