This compressor is insanely versatile. Pretty much whenever I need a compressor on any source (perhaps apart from drum close mics, for which I use the SSL 4000E plugin, which is also fantastic), I reach for this plugin. I love using it on the master bus, and it helps bring out loads of punch and cymbal definition if I put an instance of it on the drum kit. The sidechain HPF is also very useful.

I used to throw an SSL emulation on my busses, until I found this baby. Not sure how to describe it, its like I do notice the comoression, but Im not really hearing the compressor anymore.

I decided to give what to me was an underdog a shot this time for mastering. I was certainly NOT underwhelmed when I heard it. This is not the typical punchy KICK/SNARE kind of compressor; instead it's more of a smooth, warm, and silky layer of compression laid over the whole track evenly and consistent with all instruments. A mild squeeze on my track instantly made it sound much more finished. I really like this compressor and clearly see why it's been a studio hit for such a long time now.
Underated? I would give it 10 stars..

The VSC-2 is an amazing unit, it works on most materials like a charm and really helps to get a punchy & opened sound in my opinion. It's on most of my masters.
GREAT VCA COMP!

This VCA Compressor has become my favorite sounding, easy to use, most versatile compressor of all the ones I use! Very well done! Can't believe I wasn't using this before, now it's on every mix I'm working on.

Took a while for me to start going for this comp, but recently it stays more and more on my busses. Especially love it on the drums. I'm confident that soon I won't be able to do my thing without it...
So good!

i used a trial of this comp quite a while ago, and always longed for it since then. i bought it today, and after 10 seconds i knew i wouldn't ever be disappointed. i use it on my mix bus, mainly for tv post stuff, and it glues and levels everything very transparently. the soft mode is a real killer. thanks PA!
