BUS DRIVER
Bus Driver is an optical compressor that provides a wide range of
compression effects, reminiscent of the best vintage compressors made
in the ‘60s.
Compression is one of those studio processes that is all too often taken
for granted and not used to its full potential. Today’s producers think
nothing of inserting compressors on every single channel of their DAW
when mixing, but old school engineers had to learn how to make the
most of only a few units, and this made us learn them inside out.
Nomad Factory designed an Output Stage Soft-Clipping to eliminate
digital clipping at any output level and produce a smoother distortion
characteristic. This feature is in addition to the Tube-Driver Saturation
Modelling included in Bus-Driver.

OVERVIEW
BUS DRIVER COMPRESSION
Compression is the process of lessening the dynamic range between
the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. This is done by
boosting the quieter signals and attenuating the louder signals.

The controls you are given to set up Bus Driver are:
RATIO SELECTOR :
How much compression is applied. For example, if the
compression ratio is set for : , the input signal will have to 6 1
old by dB for the output level to increase by 6
Allows you to boost the compressed signal, as
compression often attenuates the signal
signi cantly. fi

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL :
Bus Driver uses Auto-Gain-Compensation (AGC) for Compression. (AGC :
also called Automatic-Voltage-Gain) is a closed-loop regulating circuit,
the purpose of which is to provide a controlled signal amplitude at its
output, despite variation of the amplitude in the input signal.
The average or peak output signal level is used to dynamically adjust
the input-to-output gain to a suitable value, enabling the circuit to work
satisfactorily with a greater range of input signal levels. For example,
without AGC the sound emitted from an AM radio receiver would vary to
an extreme extent from a weak to a strong signal. The AGC effectively
reduces the volume if the signal is strong and raises it when it is weaker.
RATIO SELECTOR
The Ratio selector determines the degree of compression, lower ratios
for compression, higher ratios for limiting. These compression ratios are
expressed in decibels, so that a ratio of : indicates that a signal 2 1
exceeding the threshold by dB will be attenuated down to dB above 2 1
the threshold, or a signal exceeding the threshold by dB will be 8
attenuated down to dB above it, etc. 4
A Ratio of : will ensure that the volume above the Threshold only 2 1
grows to half its original volume, whereas a Ratio of : will reduce the 4 1
volume to a quarter of its original. The greater the Ratio “number", the
greater the volume reduction applied to the compressed section of the
audio le.fi
METERING
The Meter Selector allows setting display view for:
• - Gain Reduction GR
• - Input IN
• - Output OUT
• - Bypasses the plug-inOFF

TUBE DRIVER
The sound of a tube ampli er is partly a function fi
of the circuit topologies typically used with tubes
versus the topologies typically used with
transistors, as much as the gain devices
themselves. Beyond circuit design, there are
other differences such as the diff
characteristics of triode, tetrode,
vacuum tubes.
NOMAD FACTORY - BUS DRIVER! 8
These can be further divided into differences among various models of
the said device type (e.g. ECC , AX , etc..). 83 12 7
In many cases circuit topologies need to account these differences to
either homogenize their widely varying characteristics or to establish a
certain operating point required by the device.
The low frequency roll-off can be explained by many tube ampli ers fi
having high output impedance compared to transistor designs, due to
the combination of both higher device impedance itself and typically
reduced feedback margins (more feedback results in a lower output
impedance).

IMPORTANT NOTE
USING THE PRESET
The included presets, “ ” by engineer Ashley Smith, give you a great [AS]
jumping off point and showcase Bus Driver’s intrinsic sounds!
When auditioning, be sure to adjust the Input and Output gain
parameters for proper gain staging and application for your mix / source
material. Please note, adjusting the Input gain will drive the compressor
harder, past the threshold, for increased gain reduction.
NAVIGATING PRESETS
