Dangerous Music 2–Bus+ Analog Summing Profiles (NAM GENOME)
Plugin Extension For Nam and Genome | 2.35 MB
Here at AnalogXAi we are proud to present to you the Dangerous Music 2BUS+ profiles. After the success of the outstanding Neve 5059 Summing profiles we just had to do the Dangerous 2BUS+ and we were asked over and over again to sample it… We did it for you and you will not be disappointed! 19 profiles are included in this pack, all 16 channels, Harmonics, Paralimiter and X-Transformer profiles.
I’ve definitely had great experiences in both worlds — analog summing and ITB mixing — but find myself happier now for the first time with true sampled analog summing for the sonics and the gain-staging convenience it provides in the box. I’m greedy, I always wanted the best of both worlds, I wanted my cake AND eat it… now you can too.
For the very first time in the box you can now have Dangerous Summing profiles on all 16/24/48/124 or 256 channels inside your DAW thanks to AnalogXAi and modern Black Box Sampling Techniques 😉 We sampled all 16 Channels of this famous summing unit and we also captured the X-Transformer, Paralimiter and Harmonics eelements of the unit to bring you an full suit of profiles to let loose on your digital / now analog productions 😉
The Dangerous 2-Bus+ is a 16-channel analogue summing mixer designed from the ground up with innovative audio processors to add colour and musicality to a mix.
The Dangerous 2-Bus+ includes three processors called Harmonics, Paralimit and X-former which affect the summed signal differently. Harmonics as its name suggests is a tuned harmonic distortion generator which is routed in parallel and is set with a Blend to control the amount of processing applied. The Paralimit is a parallel FET limiter designed to add punch and life without affecting the natural dynamic of the signal. X-former engages a pair of custom transformers and lets you control how much saturation is the applied to the core.
Although the 2-Bus+ features powerful colour options, it remains at its heart a clean and expensive sound associated with the original 2-Bus, giving the user entire control over the colouration (or lack of) as an artistic choice rather than by default.
Dangerous 2-bus+ Summing Profiles feature:
All 16 inputs sampled separately
Transformer with Saturation profile
FET Limiter sampled
Harmonics Emphasis Sampled
The Paralimit feature. According to the manufacturer, it’s a FET limiter “set on stun” and, as the name suggests, it’s a parallel process: the compressed signal is sent to the mix using the Paralimit knob on the front panel. To my ears it sounds like the processed signal is first filtered by adding a lot of mid range and treble, then smashed by the limiter. The result is very refreshing on drums, acoustic guitar, vocals and so on — in short, any instrument that could benefit from some extra mid–range and treble energy without sounding ‘pokey’. The result is akin to that of a harmonic enhancer such as the Aphex Aural Exciter, but it’s smoother-sounding than that, and it’s very seductive — I wouldn’t mind having it available on all 16 channels!

The Dangerous 2–Bus+ profiles is a perfect digital sampled rendition of an amazing active summing mixer, and the three analogue tone processors act as ‘vitamin injectors’ for stereo stems or the entire mix: super–clean sonics, FET–limited sound, or transformer saturation, the choice is yours.
