The idea behind this plugin was, of course, parallel compression. by WA Production.
The plugin appears to be heavily inspired by Dada Life 's incredibly popular Sausage Fattener compression and saturation tool . Taking cues from Sausage Fattener's animated GUI, ComBear features an animated bear in the top right corner of the UI that will look angrier as the amount of compression increases.
The main way Combear should be used is to add it to a clean channel duplicated from the original and compress a lot and this mix with the original signal, this tactic brings a bold, delicious and intense sound to all the elements in the production that it is applied.
Combear would classify it as a clean compressor since it does not apply any type of equalization filter by default within the frequency range and the Mix knob allows us to play with how much compression we add to the signal to be processed.
Don't forget the makeup gain to maintain the same input level and compare. Remember that sounding louder is not synonymous with sounding better.

What is parallel compression?In its simplest form, parallel compression, also called New York compression, is a highly dynamic range compression technique used in sound recording and mixing. Basically, parallel compression is a large form of bottom-up compression and is achieved by mixing a raw "dry" or slightly compressed signal with a highly compressed version of the same signal.
