@bmanic If you’re no longer using this compressor, I can buy it from you.

Just demoed and I am thoroughly impressed with the speed at which I can achieve good results, even with the buggyness highlighted in this thread.

Hi Ploki

Unfortunately I don’t have any vouchers and coupons. Guess I will just be patient and wait for it to be on the usual PA sale.

Oh no, I am still using it quite often but it didn't work out as my main go-to. I'm trying to switch most basic mixing tasks to the softube console system so at the moment I'm figuring out which of these will be my go-to.. possibly Pro-C2 again as it is one of the softube supported plugins since the last update to the system.

Fair enough.

Does anyone have a Forever coupon for sale?

@bmanic, since I know you're a fan of both these plugins, how do you find the Brit VCA in Cenozoix vs the SSL E channel compressor in TrackComp 2?

[bmanic]

I haven't really compared them. Mostly I use the Clean preset in Cenozoix as my starting point and of the emulations I usually end up using the Vari-Mu or the Focusrite Red 3 emulation.

I just tested the new update for the first time and I'm really, REALLY liking the new harmonic distortion option they added. Some of them sound absolutely amazing! For instance the 'mastering' one is really sweet sounding in the way it sounds sort of scooped and fluffy. This new option also adds a lot of new grit and forwardness to the 1176 blue emulation, something that was quite lacking in the first version. Now it's really amazingly good to be frank.

EDIT: I took a look at the new 1.1 update saturation feature in Plugin Doctor and indeed the saturation is really complex and very dynamic. All 24 algorithms are completely unique! I'm truly amazed at the amount of work that must have gone into this.

For instance the saturation for the Mastering algorithm is indeed sweet sounding because it has a clear dip in the level of 3rd and 5th harmonic from about 3kHz to 6kHz and a lot of 2nd and 4th harmonic support in the low octaves. That makes a lot of sense and it's very clear somebody has been tweaking these with good taste and with an ear for good sound. Similarly interesting is the saturation algorithm for the 'Drum' preset. It has very wildly varying harmonic shapes depending on incoming level. Most of them around 200 to 500Hz where you have a lot of the body of a snare and most other drums. This is a fantastic update!!

As for Trackcomp 2, I mainly use the SSL bus compressor, API 2500 emulation and the Chandler Germanium emulation. Haven't really felt the need to use the E channel lately as I'm now using the Softube Console 1 for all of those basic tasks when doing my rough mix.
