Logic compressor is one I’m coming back to every time. Maybe it’s not the most exciting one, but is very versatile and usually just works.
At first sound was to rough for me, but once I switched to 96khz it’s much better.
Still this is my goto until I find something better (or not)

They are pretty similar in terms of modern GUI with different flavors of vintage compressors + good metering visuals.the_eraser wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 2:35 pm Also Logic stock compressor, and occasionally Waves API 2500.
How do you think Trackcomp2 complements Logic compressor?
But I would say Trackcomp2 gives you more options in term of compressors (bit better for the 1176, 2LA, dbx, Gbus emulations + amazing API 2500 & Zener) and the workflow suits me better (best autogain feature I've seen in a plugin, offline oversampling and you can tweak more parameters).

It's a bit boring, but I use TrackComp all the time, everywhere, on tracks, on the master-bus or for mastering.
When I use another compressor, it takes more time to set and I never know if I will keep it.
With TrackComp I'm almost sure it will fit. I use other compressors only because I bought them and I feel bad they stay unused. Among my favorites that I use only from time to time : Pulsar MU, Iron and the Black rooster VLA-3A...
The feature I'd like to see in TrackComp is the Compression Range you can find on the Arturia's ones (that I generally like, even if I don't gel with the Diode-609). It's nice to have hardcore settings but to know that the compression will not go above a certain amount of GR...

I guess a Cubase one for those rare times that I record my voice. I have no need for compressors on anything else.
