My favorite compressor, especially for drums/percussions.
A good choice

I'm new to audio and I never tried analog gear. In my opinion, this far exceeds what comes by default in DAWs.
Awesome work unicorn

I have not found source material that doesn't sound better through this compressor. It is all but transparent when needed and aggressive when you want it to be. It's a workhorse and it's magical.
Unique

5.5 stars for its uniqueness and quality 1 star off for: - gain knob not reaching down far enough - very small font and non-resizable GUI - lack of parallel comp feature The sound: I would not call it great or universally usable, but it is unique - and that makes it awesome. It does what no other compressor I own can do: - For single tracks, it just completely evens out the dynamics. It's like you have a wrinkled linen shirt, and now it's smooth. Flat. Not sure I think that is the greatest sound, but if that is what you like, no other compressor (in my limited experience) does that. Completely even keel. - On the mix bus, it does something truly remarkable: again, pulling everything together and ironing it - which results in a perfect wedding photo. Everyone smiling, even though someone has just thrown up behind the bushes. The two people who are definitely not talking stand next to each other smiling. Again, I am not sure when I would use that, but it is unique. How unique? The standard SSL bus compressor glue-and-low-pass-and-forward does not even come close. And then 0.5 stars on top for the gain reduction limiting feature, which again is quite unique. I highly recommend trying it out, because it may be just the thing you need.

Very good elysia emulation.
Best Instrument compressor I know

Since Ive got this plugin, I havent build a bass or guitar rig without this plugin. Its so clean and precise and even the subtlest compression makes your sound come to live. I love the GR-limiter, for when I get a little enthusiastic while playing, the sounds doesnt get to tight on a few louder notes. A wonderful plugin that keeps standing out in my 40+ compressor collection.

I like this one for adding some dirt on overheads and rooms. Not as good as the Alpha-Compressor - but close. Who wants to use the same compressor on all stems? The variety makes the difference.
Surprisingly Good

I own a ton of other compressors and I slept on this one for a long time, but this is becoming one of my most used compressors. To me this just sounds like exactly how I think a compressor ought to sound. It doesn't add a ton of harmonics, but it also definitely has a sound. It is perfect for evening out drum or bass performances or even adding punch to an electronic drum bus. I wouldn't hesitate to put this on anything.
Swiss knife of compression

I'm very impressed about this compressor's job, it's almost magic to have a so clean comp with its fast and precise capabilities. I use it all time to cut peaks and tame transients in general, on separate channels and even on the mix bus, but I know its capabilities goes further.
