3.2.9 Thump – What?
In traditional vari-mu compressors, "thump" or "thumping" is a known phenomenon caused by a
small amount of side-chain control voltage leaking into the audio path. This typically results in subtle low-end
modulation or “pulsing,” particularly noticeable on bass-heavy or sustained low-frequency material.
This effect is often the result of slight mismatches between tube characteristics, and while it can be
musically pleasing in some contexts—adding a bit of low-end movement or saturation—it may be considered
undesirable in more delicate or transparent applications like solo acoustic instruments or soft vocals.
In the case of ngTubeComp, we’ve made significant improvements to reduce this effect to almost
imperceptible levels. Through refined tube matching, tighter internal tolerances, and optimized circuit design,
thumping is no longer a typical concern during regular use.
That said, in some rare cases—depending on the source material, compressor settings (especially
long release times), and monitoring environment—a subtle thump may still be audible. If so, it's not a fault,
but rather a characteristic of vari-mu behavior at extreme settings.
To minimize this further:
• Try raising the input level slightly.
• Adjust attack and release times to reduce low-frequency modulation.
• Consider using DUAL mode for independent channel behavior if stereo-linked control enhances the
effect.
Overall, ngTubeComp’s architecture makes thumping a non-issue for most use cases, but we include this
section simply to raise awareness for engineers who value complete sonic transparency.
3.2.10 Interdependencies of Analog Features
The ngTubeComp is a fully analog device where certain features can interact with one another due to
its integrated design. While additional details are covered in subsequent sections, the following summary
outlines key considerations regarding how specific functionalities within the unit interact:
• Bypass Functionality: Activating bypass directly connects the INPUT to the OUTPUT, making other
features in the signal chain inoperative. For example, the MUTE function will not be effective when
bypass is engaged. If the unit only transmits a signal in BYPASS mode, this may indicate that the INPUT
from the interface has been incorrectly connected to the INPUT of the device, rather than to the
OUTPUT.
• IRON Mode in Mid-Side (M/S) Processing: In Mid-Side mode, the IRON mode applies the same value
to both channels. Since the output transformer (used for symmetrization) operates in Left/Right mode,
it functions outside the Mid/Side processing domain.
