The Capitol Mastering Compressor models Capitol’s handbuilt CM5511 mastering compressor.

The same hardware was used on catalogues from Capitol, Blue Note and Motown. Saturator and Mix controls increase perceived loudness and texture, while Mono Fold and Mid/Side tighten the low end and widen the stereo image – for professional polish on the mix bus and master.
