The Heritage Audio Successor is now available as a plug-in, conveniently bringing the famous diode-bridge bus compressor to your DAW.
Heritage Audio is known for recreating classic pieces of recording gear and making them accessible to modern producers and engineers. Having created a powerful recording tool with the Successor, the manufacturer now offers a versatile plug-in version.
Heritage Audio Successor Plug-in
All the features of the hardware are maintained, with stereo operation, parallel compression with a wet/dry mix control, fast attack and release times, an internal sidechain filter, and a new Nuke mode for slamming drums and other instruments.
Of course, plug-in format has its advantages. Instead of being limited to processing one bus at a time, you can open as many instances of the Successor as you need, for channel groups and your mix bus.
Besides its application in music production, the Successor can also be used to level the voices in your podcast. Its fast attack and release times will make short work of any uneven transients, so you get smooth signals that are a pleasure to listen to.
The circuitry on which the plug-in is modelled introduces pleasing 2nd order harmonics to the signal, so you can get that nostalgic vintage sound when you push the gain reduction a little further than normal.
Diode-bridge style compression is particularly useful for getting a more professional-sounding mix, and the ability to Nuke the signal and then dial back the wet/dry mix is a great feature.
