i got some nice IKM comps but analogue modelled without the typical layout msising mostly threshold. so i wanted to get a nice overall compressor and saw some mixing videos using H-Comp which seems to have nice additional features as well and suitable for nearly all elements?
is a NI comp maybe equivalent to it?

I wouldn't say there's anything equivalent from NI. I had the VC2A and VC76 but I used H-Comp heck of a lot more than both of those. Its really a great all rounder. Its great on the drum bus, sounds amazing on guitars and even works for vocals. In my opinion when something isn't specifically modeled after something, you have more room for creativity.

I would say a nice overall compressor would be Presswerk. Although I read a lot of people like H-Comp, it sounds very 2D and flat to me.

Klanghelm makes terrific stuff, but I would go for his DC8C2 comp as an all-arounder before getting MJUC.iamgroot wrote:alright cool, thanks for reply ckam. I've also been thinking about Klanghelm MJUC though, so I don't know...

Actually that was my first option for that fact that it does external sidechain. This may seem like a dumb question because every comp is modeled differently, but how does the klanghelm comp sound compared to really expensive compressors plugins? is there a significant difference?

Personally I prefer Klanghelms DC8C2 & MJUC to Pro-C and all the IK Multimedia and Waves compressors. The price of Klanghelms compressors definitely does not reflect the quality.
Try the demos out and see for yourself.

Yeah it's quite a flexible compressor, the only thing I can think of that comes close is Logic's Compressor, which doesn't help if you're non Logic.
The H-Comp has additional features the Logic compressor doesn't have though, like the Punch Control and the ability to sync your release rate to the song. Definitely very usable features..

Is it a case of being able to get the same tones, but easier and with more flexibility?ckam03 wrote:I wouldn't say there's anything equivalent from NI.
