This one has become an essential part of my mixing workflow. I use it as my main compressor on either the drum bus or the kick + bass bus, regardless of the genre. What I love most is the way its op-amp character affects the low end. It gives the bottom end a certain movement and shift that I find incredibly effective.
P19 IGLOO
押し返すピーク・コンプレッサー。強く働くほど、パンチが残ります。
P19は、P11 Abyssと対をなすピーク・コンプレッサーです。リコイル回路がゲインリダクションに逆向きの力で応えるため、強い処理の下でもトランジェントは衝撃を失いません。PSIは手触りをVCAからダイオードブリッジやVari-Muの領域へと動かし、DYNAMICSは突発的なピークへの反応を落ち着かせ、EASYモードは同じ回路のままパネルを要点だけに畳みます。オーバーサンプリングOFFでゼロレイテンシー。
押し返すコンプレッション。
ゲインリダクションが深くなるほど、回路は逆向きの力を加えます。コンプレッサーはより強く働き、音はパンチと空気感と明瞭さを保ちます。
P11 AbyssがRMSでレベルを整えるのに対し、P19はピークに反応します。トランジェントに即座に応え、ドラム、ベース、あらゆるパーカッシブな素材により鋭い輪郭を与えます。ステップ式のTHRESHOLD、RATIO、ATTACK、RELEASEは、耳で選ばれたタイミングによる素早く再現性の高いワークフローをもたらし、トラックが中間の値を求めるときはスイッチひとつでATTACKとRELEASEが連続可変になります。KNEEは移行を形作り、LINKは左右を完全に連動させた状態から2台の独立したモノ・コンプレッサーまで動かし、サイドチェイン・フィルターはキックやサブの帯域がリダクションを駆動しないようにします。
キャラクターはいくつかのコントロールに宿ります。PSIはコンプレッサーの反応の仕方を、下端のクリーンでVCAらしいグリップから、上端のダイオードブリッジやVari-Mu設計のような膨らみと倍音の重みまで動かします。DYNAMICSは突発的なピークへの反応を意図的に鈍らせ、ピアノやボーカルがポンピングせずに呼吸を続けられるようにします。INPUTは入力トランスをドライブし、BIASは出力トランスに色を付け、OVERLOADはハイパーコンプレッションへ押し込み、SOULは特有の奥行きをオン/オフし、AHEADは最初のトランジェントがレイテンシーより重要なときにルックアヘッドを加えます。
- RECOIL
- 自らのゲインリダクションに逆らって働く回路を持つピーク・コンプレッサー。強い処理の下でも、信号は崩れずに衝撃と明瞭さを保ちます。
- PSI
- P11 Abyssで初めて登場したPsychoacoustic Shaping Index。低い値ではクリーンで速いVCAのように振る舞い、高い値ではダイオードブリッジやVari-Mu設計のサチュレーションと膨らみに寄ります。変わるのはコンプレッサーの反応の仕方であり、時定数ではありません。
- DYNAMICS
- 突発的なレベル変化への反応を抑え、コンプレッションをより滑らかで落ち着いたものにします。上げれば、ピアノやボーカルがポンピングせずに呼吸を続けます。
- EASYモード
- スイッチひとつでDYNAMICS、SOUL、AHEAD、チャンネルリンクを隠しつつ、内部では動かし続けます。プリセットから始めて、ミックスへ。
現場からの声。
“P19 Igloo is by far the most versatile compressor I have ever used. By Far. I have yet to put it on any source material where it doesn't work brilliantly. And...it has also become my default mix bus plugin. The detail and clarity is simply incredible. P19 Igloo falls squarely at the top of my non-negotioable mixing tools.”
“The P19 Igloo is a game-changer for me. It’s incredibly flexible yet intuitive and easy to use. It can be pristine and clean, or it can impart a beautiful analog mojo. I can really drive this thing hard without compromising the integrity of the program material, and that’s what sets it apart from the rest. It retains clarity and punch with no unpleasant artifacts. It bends or pushes frequencies exactly how I want, something I usually only expect from hardware. There’s a ‘maturity’ in how it handles audio that I’ve found lacking in most software. CPU efficiency is excellent, I’m using it on everything. I’m blown away. Mixing entirely in-the-box no longer feels like a compromise in any way. Do yourself a favor. 👍🏻”
“A playful powerhouse for your mix! With smooth compression and plenty of character, it’s got everything you need to add that special touch. Trust me, it’s a tool worth getting excited about!”
“I’m really a feel kinda guy. I react to a piece of equipment or a plugin by the way it makes me feel internally and emotionally. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of plugins emulating one thing or another and what I find special about P19 Igloo is the way it makes me smile inside when I use it and play with it. There are so few in my eyes (and ears) that do that. At least five or six (sometimes more) of Pulsar Modular plugins regularly find their way into my mixes. They have become indispensable staples of my workflow and are my #1 goto for many situations.”
“It’s a different beast from the Abyss, for sure, but I’m finding it every bit as useful. Yet another masterpiece from Pulsar Modular!”
“Igloo gave my parallel drums the snap they were missing. It adds massive size and weight without sacrificing the punch. Solid!”
“From transparent to full-color compression, the P19 Igloo delivers some of the best harmonics I've ever gotten from a compressor. So flexible it's usable in any application. I can't find a bad way to use this.”

Great tool for the mix bus. Lots of clarity and glue.
Punch, attitude, glue... what can't this thing do? So many options! I'm just amazed at how this company keeps adding in that "magic sauce," for lack of a better term. My bank account is lower; my client rating is up :P
But seriously, the punch and detail this brings out in drums—I can't seem to recreate that in any other plugin in my arsenal. And I have a lot :)
I'd give it 10 stars, but your system only goes to 5. Thanks for helping me look like a better mixer than I actually am :)
Very versatile compressor!
Even if it’s more simple than P11 Abyss it’s still a gem and gets you lot of adjustment possibilities to get the sound to what you’re aiming for.
Great compressor! Just different enough from the P11 to justify having both. It sounds a bit more traditional and can get more aggressive with the Dynamics slider. Excellent layout and outstanding sound!
Another great compressor, different than Abyss. It seems a bit resource-intensive, particularly when Soul is engaged. In Reaper, CPU usage went from .88% to 2.0%. Other than the CPU issue, it is a very nice compressor. So far, I do prefer using Abyss though. I would use both, except for the CPU usage.
Great versatile compressor
P19 Igloo really does a great job of "gloo-ing" tracks together! I use it on drum bus for rock mixes; it is very versatile and can shine on any number of sources, tho. The "Dynamics" slider works brilliantly as a transient designer, you can get things sounding really punchy if you want. Very plush!
This thing is awesome!
I can't say that I fully understand exactly what's going on, as there are simply too many possibilities. The presets provide an idea of the various potential applications, depending on the source for which you want to use the compressor. I then play around with the settings a bit and usually quickly find something I like. I think understanding the details will come with time. Overall, I can say that I like it. A lot.
There's really nothing quite like P19 Igloo when it comes to how it reacts to peaks. It has a magical way with drums and percussion, and while it behaves very differently to its bigger brother P11 Abyss, its unique design makes it a perfect complement. P19 Igloo is already edging out many of my old favorite compressors.
これまた素晴らしいですね。
なんといってもP11はRMSコンプなのに対してこちらはピークコンプとしっかりキャラ分けされてて使いやすいです。
ドラムバスにかけるのが一番しっくりきてます。
毎度ながら神秘的なコンセプトもお気に入り。
Igloo - just wow.
I have not found another compressor in the plugin domain as versatile and colorful as this.
It's not cloning an existing color or sound. Rather, it's a unique character on it's own.
Thank you,
Very good
Another Masterpiece just what I needed!! Great sound!!!
Another winner from Pulsar Modular.I all ready own a few of there plugins which are all top of the game so I was hoping the P19 Igloo would not disappoint . I did a shootout on my mastering chain with a few great highly recommended plugins and no surprise I preferred this.Can be a bit overwhelming with features but well worth learning . Highly recommended .
What a nice surprise this compressor is! I didn't think I'd need it as I've already got lots of them. It replaced my Unisum for mastering. I like the fact that you can shape the type of compressor thanks to its PSI operation. Ideal for adding character or, on the contrary, making it softer. The sound quality is remarkable, very fine, very musical. Well done!
It could have been my journey into this world of audio, now, being further down the road than where I previously was, that allowed me to be so amazed by Igloo. This is the first plugin, where I could actually hear that bloom, that analog hardware sound so clearly and damn, it was just so beautiful. Highly recommended!
A great sound shape directly from ABYSS!
The dynamics parameters in particular do a great job.
