The Purple Audio MC77 plugin is a digital emulation of the classic 1176-style FET compressor, known for its fast response and punchy sound. Modeled after the original hardware, it offers precise control over dynamics with features like variable attack, release, and ratio settings, along with the iconic “all buttons in” mode for aggressive compression.
The MC77 is widely used in mixing and mastering for vocals, drums, and other instruments that benefit from a lively, upfront sound. Its versatility and vintage tone make it a favorite among audio engineers aiming for a classic, analog feel in modern productions.
