It hadn't, but the added time demand brought the team right up to release date, before anyone realised the user interface hadn't been updated to tell players how to launch into a sprint. The Chinese Room then switched to the "hold R2" method, which then required another round of play-testing to make sure the late addition to controls didn't break the game. "It didn't matter about the speed, it was the psychology, the choice," says Pinchbeck. However, play testers were demanding a way to trigger faster movement themselves. Since they weren’t bound by the limits of the analog hardware, Boz Digital Labs took the liberty of adding a couple features that make this even more powerful than the original hardware.įor one, they added a "Dry Passthrough"" knob that makes parallel compression super easy, without having to set up extra buses.Originally, the game featured autosprint - that is, keep moving with the L thumbstick and you'd gain speed. There are really no downsides (unless you live in Alaska and need a room heater). In order to get this same compressor in hardware, not only would you have to pay over $2,000 to get one, but you’d have to deal with all the other drawbacks of using analog hardware.įor a very small fraction of the price, you can get that same sound in the much more convenient software format. Unless you stopped listening to music after "Johnny B Goode" then you have most definitely heard this hardware unit many many times.

He just happened to have a few of these in his rack, so he sent them over to Boz Digital Labs. Industry, and the only way to do that was to team up with producer/mixer David Bendeth. They wanted to do something that had never been done before but has been an icon in the recording They didn't want to model any hardware units that have been done a million times. It seems like everybody is modelling hardware these days, but Boz Digital Labs wanted to do something a little different. Hardware unit for inspiration, we dug in deep and made sure that it sounded just like the original. This plugin is modelled after a very highly sought after compressor hardware unit. +10db Compressor is the first of it's kind channel strip plugin.
