Version reviewed: 1.4.5 on Windows
This plugin has been around since the stone age and it is still as solid as a rock....
It was coded by Frank Filipanits and a few other wizards at the peak of NI's golden years..
It has a simple GUI with rather crude metering, a very low CPU drain with zero latency. and the bottom line is that it sounds great...
It has a switchable knee, linear or log release and a side chain on the compressor and a separate section with an expanded/gate...
There are much more sophisticated and "highly esteemed' compressors out there and I have a few of them, but one of the reasons I like this little guy, is that it forces you to listen and when it comes to music, that is never a bad thing.
You can really pull some transients down with this compressor and where it puts the sound in the mix is really special...
It works well on everything, but I find it especially nice on drums and electric bass...
The Solid Mix Series by NI is quite often overlooked, but these are solid tools that are well coded and have stood the test of time....
Thanks to Frank and the boys...
