This a great optical compressor, if you are looking for transparent yet musical compression with excellent side chain features. Works great on a variety of sources! I find myself using Plugin Alliance products more than any other in my mixes, with fantastic results :)
The Perfect Opto

This is definitely the most flexible optical compressor in my big arsenal of opto compressors. If you ever needed a great sounding opto with variable attack, well thought-out sidechain and parallel compression - here it is!

BX Opto sounds great, but the flexibility of the sidechain filter and the addition of a mix control make this my all-time favorite optical compressor.

As with every other PA plugin the bx_opto does what the developers intended and that is to create a tool that narrows the space between working in or out of the box. The bx_opto is a fantastically musical compressor, and I love it on vocals and bass especially.

Very good a crushing drums--a nice alternative to an 1176, and it has a better low end (the kick doesn't get lost). Not as nasty as the "all buttons in", but it sits very nicely in the mix. The flexible side chain filter lets you dial it in very precisely, and the mix control means no extra track needed.

The classic little hidden gem... very effective on practically everything, from solo vocals to mix but and sometimes in mastering too. Recommended
