I Heart NY 2 by Baby Audio is considered the hardest-hitting compressor in the industry and emulates the iconic parallel compression techniques pioneered by New York-based mixing engineers, known for adding unmatched impact and oomph, without sapping your track’s dynamic range.

An intuitive UI allows you to easily control basic compression functions through an XY Pad Node placement, with adjustable gain and output controls.

IHNY2 comes loaded with 156 presets codeveloped by artists and engineers behind the works of artist from Kanye West, Taylor Swift, and Nicki Minaj to Alicia Keys, Gucci Mane, Sia, and more, ensuring versatile, multi-genre use.

Description
System Requirement

Mix harder

Today's mixes need punch. Parallel compression—a dry sound mixed with a hard-compressed version of itself—gives maximum impact without losing dynamics. IHNY-2's custom compression is clinical and aggressive, combining the precision of a digital algorithm with the analog-inspired non-linearity of 80s/90s DBX units.

Parallel, Made Simple

Parallel compression often requires you to stop to set up some routing. IHNY-2 simplifies the process with an intuitive XY pad, balancing the dry and compressed signals in the vertial axis and the compression amount in the horrizontal axis. This allows you to operate the most important controls in one motion to quickly find the sweet spot.

Intuitive Fine-Tuning

IHNY-2 is designed for speed, but the Tweak Panel offers full control when you need it. Access attack/release time and ratio compression controls, introduce drive and transient-shaping to counteract the hard compression, and sculpt the way IHNY-2 addresses and emphasizes different frequency ranges.

Into the Tweak Panel...

Compression controls

Set how fast the compressor engages and disengages with the Attack and Release control, and set the overall compression intensity using the Ratio control.

Transient-shaping and drive

Punch emphasizes transients to balance out heavy compression, and Harmonics reacts to the gain-reduction to saturate sound harder the more it's compressed.

Shape (New York Style)

IHNY-2 is named after 'New York' compression, a parallel compression style known for hyper-present highs and lows. Shape gives these a boost for a more 'New York' sound.

Frequency Sculpting

What should IHNY-2 compress? Tilt makes the compressor work harder on the lows or highs, and Preserve prevents frequencies from getting compressed at all.
