I noticed this when checking out some comparisons online between hardware and algorithmic plugins and also in my own use. I found it more apparent on FET compressors on vocals.soundmodel wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 1:58 pm I have tested most models and most fail around the transient, the snap, and the weight around 300 Hz.
Transient smearing, it seems to take away a bit of the fidelity at peak reduction point. I found Acustica's tech seems to avoid this, they have some free compressors and other stuff.
Level matched? Dry source?
CLA seems better than I thought.
