Big. Punchy. Cinematic.

Known for its multi stage behaviour transformer options and unmistakable punch this compressor has earned a reputation for adding authority impact and width to any mix. Now you can access a full suite of sought after settings inside Genesis all precisely calibrated for professional use.
These emulations cover the major styles engineers rely on for mix bus work drum shaping vocal control and modern punch driven production. You get discreet mode optical mode heavy gain settings smashed modes and a collection of world class mastering presets created by the chief engineer at Prime Studios in Austria. Whether you want gentle glue or extreme smack this pack gives you the complete toolset.

🧬 A Brief History
This compressor is a modern legend in high end mastering rooms known for its dual stage design transformer switching and ability to shape a mix with power and finesse. The discreet section delivers fast punchy grab with solid transient impact while the optical stage provides smooth long envelope compression with natural glue. Engineers combine these behaviours to get deep musical control across a mix while keeping tone bold warm and confident.
Its transformers Iron Nickel and Steel each bring their own character from vintage depth to clean open punch. This flexibility made the hardware a go to choice for mastering engineers looking for weight and personality without losing clarity. The unit is also famous for holding on to transients while adding mass which is one of the reasons it excels on drums and mix bus work.

Important Note about L and R Files
Genesis runs in dual mono automatically, so you only need to load either the Left or Right labelled emulation to have perfect dual mono playback. The L and R files are only for people who want to create two separate mono channels of Genesis to build a true stereo configuration.
To do this set up two mono tracks in your DAW load one Left file on the left channel and one Right file on the right channel then set Genesis into mono mode using the Mono button in the Genesis interface.
