This is quickly becoming my fave compressor. As usual I applaud PA for putting out a DSP version. I put it on a mix and got a pleasing light compression right away. I just sounds nice. I almost bought one of these a few years ago. I love the mono maker. Did a great job on a spanky rhythm guitar part. Good stuff.

I own most of Plugin Alliance and i never wrote a review, but this plugin is just BRILLIANT!!!! Its puncy, warm, clean, agressive, fat, its what ever you want it to be ... just must have compressor in any studio.
....but one more thing.

Output level. & yes, Input.....(actually that whole brainworx-y "top row" we're all used to now) Yep this plugin is super-cool. I watched a few video demos & liked the sound (& uniqueness) enough to just buy it. And I knew the outputs were stepped. But then I started playing with it (& wanted a level match)......no trademark "top row" with the Input/Output/Headroom)/Noise knobs???
Absolutely incredible!

The SPL IRON has earned a permanent place on my mix and group busses. It's one of those plugins that just sounds incredible every time I use it. This paired with bx_console is absolutely outstanding!
Mind Is Blown!!!

This is just an amazing sounding compressor on busses of course but so great on individual instruments too. Incredible on vocals, it can have a sound or be beautifully transparent, no matter what it's always musical. I have almost all of PA's plugins at this point and this ranks with their absolute best work. Magic.

This is the best mixbus processor to date. Simply demo it. It's transparent but does so much to the mix, like a magic trick but does not smear it with a particular style or retro angle. Amazing and CPU friendly too.

Killer plugin. Just adding to your master bus starts to shape your mixes. Totally stands on its own. Love it!

Sublime musical compression + tone shaping + massive versatility = IRON. Having never used the real deal I can't speak to how well they've nailed the emulation but as a tool by itself, the plug in is fantastic. It is very deep and reading the manual helped to get me on track with it. Very happy to add this to the toolbox, and I'm super curious to try the hardware now as well!
