From a Church Balcony to the Big Stage…
Since being pulled from a church balcony in St. Louis in 1995, this one-of-a-kind compressor has become a signature piece in Greg Wells’ work for nearly three decades – from shaping vocals on The Greatest Showman to adding intimacy on Adele’s “One and Only.”
Why Balcony Left? A piece of tape on the faceplate reading “balcony left” nods to its humble origins in a Missouri church. As a preacher’s kid who grew up playing a church organ, Greg felt a special connection.
What set Greg’s unit apart was not just its circuitry, but how it made music feel. Rather than flattening or shrinking a sound, it revealed its character. It enhanced what was already there, adding presence and emotion while allowing the speakers to disappear and the music to take over.
Capturing that experience in software took over a year of careful work. The result is a faithful recreation of the sound and feel Greg has relied on for decades, to the point where even he could no longer reliably tell the difference.
Balcony Left is not about recreating a piece of hardware. It is about preserving a creative relationship and making it available to anyone who values musicality over mechanics.
Built for Modern Sessions
Internal oversampling with anti-derivative anti-aliasing keeps everything clean, even when pushed hard. Optimized DSP means you can run dozens of instances without watching your CPU meter. Mix and headroom controls add flexibility the hardware never had.
Designed to Stay Out of the Way
Musical defaults and practical control ranges help you work quickly, stay in flow, and focus on decisions that serve the song rather than the settings.
Hybrid Modeling Architecture
Modeled using a hybrid of circuit modeling and machine learning. Timing behavior and transformer saturation was found in this unit that has not been seen in any other – characteristics that are fully captured in the plugin.
