It also works great on snare and guitars. Sonalksis plugins are made by ex Neve-AMS employees and sound very 'analog' compared to many other plugins, they also are 64 bit audio quality.
The SOnalksis uber compressor from the Creative suite is also seriously kick ass on drums, it does not do subtle like the SV315 can, but if you want to put your sound through a crusher, this baby does the job. I am a Sonalksis fanboy, if you don't already know
another Sonalksis fan here,a HUGE fan that is....
they sound amazing!!!!!
sv-315:fantastic on anything,from drums(crush preset,yank that threshold down,adjust other settings and i'm screaming "eargasm!!!!!!!"),mastering,whatever!
tbk-3:the little monsterchainsawcompressor.LOVE IT!!!!
also really good is the URS strip pro.nice thick,warm sound.
i insert their saturation plugin before it,and it sounds even better.really like some of the models in it.you get this "vintage","hairy" or "analog"sound with it......at least i do.
when i insert it AFTER the strip pro,the effect is not so apparent.
psp mastercomp is really good as well,but FAT mode eats my cpu....
