The Twincom compressor is my latest acquisition from plugins alliance and there is one think I can assure you about : this love affair is not going to be a flash in the pan. In fact Im using it all the time, maybe not as much on individual instruments or tracks (as yet) but mainly on buses. The reason being a) subtlety b) dimension. Subtlety because the compression is effective but discreet, dimension because it instantaneously creates space and improves the stereo picture. This is the result of using a slightly deferent compression on each channel, to that end I personally recommend having one channel louder than the other, that gives you the impression of an even wider picture. The last think that I can say about it is that the M/S section sounds as if it was invented for this compressor.

I was looking for a clean and transparent mastering compressor and settled on this because it has 2 signal paths as well as M/S. I find the tube path remains totally clean while the FET path adds a very very subtle "fuzz" to the top end of the spectrum. Some may like it but I always end up choosing the tube path. The M/S function is great and may save the need for a remix from time to time. This plugin will most likely never leave my mastering chain.

I think TCL-2 is my option in my mix session.It's tone color is very nice for me and that always makes expensive tone.

I like the way it colorizes top of peaks on drums with no digital artifacts (which I often hear with other VST compressors, even very famous ones). Surely, it's one of my favorite tools for making punchy and yet very soft sound. I also often use it together with Vertigo VSC-2
Fantastic and versatile

This compressor is fantastic ! Smooth, crazy, transparent, beautiful color/character, expensive sounding, dazzling and intuitive GUI. Using mild/moderate compression the TCL-2 really shines as a mixbus/masterbus dynamics processor producing exceptionally balanced results. The TCL-2 pumps noticeably at heavier compression settings with some quite interesting effects.
