Care to elaborate? I bought it yesterday and though I haven't used it in a full mix yet, it sounds fine to me.

Gr meter is screwed up, phase issues with random parameters, there's a thread on gearslutz about it

Well, I have no issues with the GR meter here (v1.0.1). I actually like the fact that the needle still moves a tiny bit above 0 dB when the comp is on but not doing any compression.
I haven't tested for possible phase issues but I thought the inverted phase issue for the HP filter had been fixed.
However, I've just realised that when loading presets, the GUI doesn't update in Cubase 5 until I actually close and reopen the GUI. While I'd like this to be fixed, it's a bit of a non-issue for me as I never use presets for EQs and comps.

That's not the only issue with the GR meter for me. I wish it was, I wouldnt mind it if it worked, but it doesnt. It acts consistently strange when adjusting things like Release, but doesnt act like you'd think it would.

But the LPF still does something to the phase, and turning on oversampling affects the phase as well.

Believe me, when this thing actually works as intended, it will be awesome. It just doesnt yet.

The Strip was updated to v1.0.2 today and all bugs seems to have been fixed.
And as the developer explained on Gearslutz, the phase issue with oversampling on is due to the zero-latency design and cannot be changed with current design.

docdued wrote:one remark concerning the possible phase issues when oversampling: that's unfortunately the price you have to pay for a zero-latency oversampling filter. There has to be a steep cutoff filter close to the Nyquist frequency, which is causing this. An alternative would be to use an FIR filter, but then with a non-zero latency. For the time being I prefer the current solution...

No. But I'm fine with using the output slider since I always set levels after compression settings.

makes for poor A/B experience. plus, +6dB for a compressor capable of 20dB gain reduction is kinda lame.

You can set the output level to +12dB.

A little bump for a great plugin!

The full version of The Strip looks to be free with issue 112 (no 4, 2015) of Beat Magazine, which is being published shortly.

Can you give a link for this, or is there a full name for this magazine? I can't read the small font on that image, and it is surprisingly difficult to google. I would like to know if I would be able to get this at the store in the US.
