Capable of running GDDR5 memory modules, which apparently offer a massive 530% increase in clock speeds and 5th generation PCIe GPUs. When it comes to hardware support, the XPS Desktop is almost in a league of its own. The Dell XPS Desktop is a larger format workhorse Available later this fall, Dell’s new XPS Desktop offers an enormous amount of potential performance, let’s see what sets it apart. For those seeking to configure or build their own studio workstation, this is certainly both a formidable and a viable option as purchasing high-end components individually can be costly. The XPS line has always been synonymous with performance and this desktop PC is no different, providing an unparalleled level of compatibility with the latest hardware in a larger design footprint. Meet the Dell XPS Desktop, a redesigned powerhouse for demanding Windows users. Additional improvements include improved CPU performance, new sidechain filtering and band compression options, Dry/Wet mix control, and resizable user interface. The Damping control is new to 925 MK2, enabling greater control and shaping of the output signal’s envelope. Additionally, the 925 compressor has a variable knee response to really slam transient-heavy sounds like percussion and rock vocals.įor 925 MK2, MIA Labs introduced Slope / Ratio mode selection which completely changes the compression character and dynamic response. The plug-in is suitable for both track and bus compression, including mastering applications.

Along with the logarithmic gain reduction, this produces more natural-sounding compression and contributes to the 925 compressor’s versatility.

The high detection speed lets the compressor follow the actual waveform instead of just the envelope. Something very characteristic of the 925 comp’s design is that the sidechain detection circuit is based on a basic analog envelope detector which results in a lively dynamic response. Here’s more about the changes and upgrades applied to the 925. The concept has reached its second development milestone with the release of 925 Compressor MK2. MIA designed it using physical modelling principles and liberal inspiration from coveted vintage units. The original 925 compressor by MIA Labs is a niche but well-loved compressor plug-in that tried something different for a change.
