The improved algorithm analyses the signal to determine whether to apply saturation or limiting, based on the frequency content. This mastering limiter has an optional True Peak Limiting button, and simple controls for ceiling and gain. On the opposite side of the plugin’s panel, we have the main event: FG Level. The Advanced mode adds sidechain EQ and M/S controls, which allow you to unlink the centre and side components to achieve a wider mix. It sounds lovely and smooth in fact, it is difficult to get a bad sound out of it, whether taming peaks using a high ratio and threshold or doing more gentle, low-ratio balancing. It has simple controls for ratio, threshold, attack and release, plus a gain reduction meter. The first part of the signal chain is a mastering-grade compressor called FG Comp. Toggling into Advanced view doesn’t dramatically change things, but you get access to a handful of extra parameters that help refine the sound (more on these later). Like Slate Digital’s MO-TT release, FG-X 2 includes both Easy and Advanced views, which can be switched at the top of the clean-looking, resizable new GUI. First things first we’re happy that the company is honouring its original pledge to make FG-X 2 free of charge for anyone that already owns an FG-X licence, which is very welcome given the significant update.
