I actually haven't used the compressor for quite a while. It is a decent all rounder, but these days I use the api, ssl or v series from waves, or just recently the Pro-C from fabfilter. Prior to that I had been using the Sonalksis.

I used Detailer as the final mastering plug for my last CD.I thought it did a great job of bringing the levels up without over compressing.

that's great, thanks for the opinions...what do you think of that Fabfilter Pro-C?

Do you guys know if the licenses are transferable? And if so, would any of you be willing to sell these plugs?

I also use Pro-C and Sonalksis TBK3 for drums, and Sonalksis SV-315mkII for bass. However, I've been having a blast using Pro-C on the master mix with its parrallel preset.

Sorry for the hijack.

I never really got on with the RND limiter either, though it's got some interesting functions wher you can vary the mount of limiting based on signal strength.

Honestly I bet I use Sonalksis plugs in far more than any other, very transparent for small adjustment, feed more signal into them and they get a bit more character. Definitely my favorite plugs for dynamics control, I'm eagerly awaiting their new mastering limiter due out very soon.

If I had a nickel for the number of threads I've jacked! So please feel free to discuss whatever comes to mind. Hell, you can even talk about Paris Hilton's favorite compressor.

I just need to make a really good decision on what to get by next Friday. Kjaerhus is having a sale, and I really need figure out if that's going to best serve my purposes. I don't have a ton of cash, which is why I'm staying away from Waves or URS or even Sonalksis. I also want a few tools that I know really well, so those are my real motivations.

Download the demo of Pro-C - it blew me away.
