Greetings and Welcome!
Thank you for choosing MIA Laboratories.
Please take the time to read through this user guide in order to get familiar with the components
and the use of MiaCompressorOne.
Overview:
Mia Compressor One is MIA Laboratories’ premier compressor. It is carefully designed to act like
the much esteemed analog compressors of past decades, with the distinctive sound of MIA
Laboratories. Easy and simple to use, yet flexible enough, to help you achieve the desired results
quickly, and to speed up your workflow.
Features:
●
Stereo Link Operation
In “Stereo Link” mode, the same amount of compression is applied to both L/R channels,
based on the sum of the two. With Stereo Link disabled, compression takes place
independently for each channel, whilst retaining common controls for both.
●
External Sidechain
Use any other channel of your mix as an input to the side-chain of MIA Compressor One.
●
Sidechain filtering
Use the High Pass and Low Pass filters to restrict the side-chain information to the
desired frequency range.
●
Band Compression
Define a certain frequency range to be compressed, while the rest of the signal remains
unaffected.
●
Colour Type
Five carefully designed eq curves to add some “MIA” flavour to your sound.
●
Input, Output, Gain Reduction Meters
Visualize the compression process with the assistance of the input, output and gain
reduction displays in either Peak or RMS mode.
●
34 MIA Presets
34 carefully designed “MIA” Presets, to achieve quick and balanced results, or to act as a
perfect kick start towards your desired outcome.
●
Dry-Processed control
Control the balance between the Dry and the compressed signal.
