Here`s an idea you may want to try: use 2 in serial on a channel, like

the Wladimir vca first
and the Vitali opto second

or any combination you like the best.

I still can`t recreate that vibe in the 64bit world :x
You surely realize that the "complex" mode in Blockfish already puts two compressors in serial order?
"Preamps have literally one job: when you turn up the gain, it gets louder." Jamcat, talking about presmp-emulation plugins.

Ahh yes. This thing does magic on a boring snare.

Hi, yes, but the "classic interpretation" of serial compression delivers different results.

If so, it's very punchy, a secret weapon.

It was withdrawn along with most of his payware when he stopped developing. He has since set a few plugs free, but not Sidearm. Maybe send him a PM?

I wouldn't say it's the best for punch - it's not what I reach for first if that's what's required. Having said that I do use it on some dance music masters that haven't got enough punch going on - you can really fine tune it.

i always get blasted for mentioning it,

heck i've been checking these "best free comp" threads for years, and for all the options out there, imo mda dynamics is still my fave.

it's a simple, plain compressor. no fiddly "special features" that detract from actually compressing. it does exactly that. people laugh and say "it's not oversampled" - i'm compressing bass, aliasing isn't an issue. nice param ranges.
you come and go, you come and go. amitabha neither a follower nor a leader be tagore "where roads are made i lose my way" where there is certainty, consideration is absent.

everyone don't click the link from nusource, it's a spam banking link, nothing to do with plugins. I went to report it but it seems someone was already on the ball and had done it ;) Hopefully the asshole is banned soon.

for punch?? Really?

Hmmm. to me that compressor is used as an ultra transparent super signal preserver mastering comp. Maybe I have been using it wrong. :shrug:
