I’ve always been a fan of innovative companies who combine the beautiful analogue sound with modern technology and ease of use. With their _DIONE Bus Compressor, Wes Audio is pioneering the field and setting trends for what easily could become the new standard in audio recording:
_DIONE is fully analogue compressor with top-notch circuitry, which provides the punch, fullness and ‘glue’ we’ve come to know and love about SSL compressors. – At a fraction of the price of the original unit.
So far so good, but Wes Audio didn’t stop there!
They integrated this full analogue sound with the ease of use, swift workflow and features of modern technology:
_DIONE can be controlled remotely from your DAW, so you can automate each parameter throughout the song, easily perform recalls, parallel compress and compare different settings with the click of a button.
One of the major issues with outboard mixing and mastering has always been the ability to easily recall your settings when handling revisions. Thanks to Wes Audio, this is now an issue of the past!
With the _DIONE Bus Compressor, they are giving us the best of both worlds: Great Sound and Usability!
I recently tested the _DIONE compressor over Sunset Sound Studio One where The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Led Zeppelin recorded. We put it up against Joe Chiccarelli’s go-to bus compressor, the Alan Smart C2. And what can I say? The _DIONE held it’s own: It sounds full, punchy and open AND it gives me all of the features I love about working in the box.
