Give your music the sound of silky-smooth compression with the Waves Abbey Road RS124 Compressor, a plug-in that accurately recreates the Abbey Road’s RS124 tube compressor with its legendary velvety tones heard on every Beatles recording made at Abbey Road.
With two distinct flavors to choose from for vocals, bass, drums, bus compression, and mastering applications, this classic tube model is the only software emulation of the ultrarare RS124s approved by Abbey Road Studios.
Two Distinct RS124 Flavors Modeled from the Original Hardware
- Studio: Models RS124 serial no. 60070B, a favorite unit used for tracking at Abbey Road from the late ‘50s into the ‘60s, due to its faster attack and release times. This is the more aggressive sound of the RS124, which creates a beautiful squashed sound on transients.
- Cutter: Offers a modification with slower attack and release times. The slower RS124s were favored for studio reduction mixes and in Abbey Road’s cutting rooms during the ‘60s. The more relaxed attack made these units suitable and more forgiving for bus compression and mastering purposes.
Super Fuse Mode
- The RS124 is a feedback compressor with variable recovery. Want it to become more aggressive? The included Super Fuse mode matches release time to attack time, creating a brutal compression character that sounds like it’s fighting against itself. Try this on your drum bus for complete room destruction.
