PSP N2o(Or Nitro) Can they come close to Mastercompresser?

I know, these are FX, but I believe, they do some, compression.

Thanks!

Yes n20 can do master bus compression, but it won't be as fully featured or configurable as one of the standalone compressors PSP offers (which are very good, by the way. their "buspressor" is a SSL style compressor that holds up very well against the Waves, Glue, etc...)

Cool! I just picked up PSPMixpack2 and the Mixpressor sounds great! I've tried Vintage Warmer and some other PSP compressors and I like them a little better the Ozone 5. Hmmm

I have not tried the Glue, I have heard thee demos on their site, and that one sounds great as well.

PSP makes great stuff. As for the Ozone compressor, I actually think it is fantastic but is more "tweaky", you have to control a lot of parameters to get it working with your tracks. The PSP stuff is a lot more instant and probably has some more saturation running under the hood, whereas in Ozone all the saturation is handled in the "exciter" module. So sometimes in Ozone to get good analog sounding compression you have to combine the compressor with the exciter module. Then things get pretty interesting.
