Solid Bus Comp
Solid Bus Comp is a VST/AU/AAX compressor plugin from Native Instruments' Solid Mix Series, designed for bus compression, summing, and mix glue. It emulates the character of classic analog console compressors and can be used on individual channels, subgroups, or master buses. The plugin features adjustable threshold, ratio, attack, release, makeup gain, and sidechain filtering, plus a stereo enhance control. It is typically used by music producers, mixing engineers and mastering professionals as part of the Native Instruments Komplete suite or purchased individually.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSolid Bus Comp is a plugin component, not a standalone app — it must be updated through Native Instruments' official update channel, not through a generic app download. To get the native Apple Silicon build, launch Native Access (Native Instruments' plugin and software manager) from your computer, navigate to the Solid Mix Series or Solid Bus Comp entry, and click Update if available. Native Instruments has confirmed native Apple Silicon support for the Solid Mix Series (which includes Solid Bus Comp) on recent macOS versions (13, 14, 15). The plugin must be installed and activated through Native Access; if you installed it manually in the past, Native Access will recognize it and manage updates going forward. After updating, the native build will load in any VST3, AU, or AAX host on your Apple Silicon Mac with noticeably lower CPU overhead compared to the Rosetta 2-translated version.
