User Reviews by KVR Members for Eddie Kramer PIE Compressor
OS: Version: 9R5. Last edited by jam92189 on 23rd August 2012.
Just did a review on another plugin in the bundle and thought why not do this one to.
Now this compressor is nice its very clean and clear with just a nice smooth sound. To be honest I find the SSL comp a little muddy for my taste and I think this one is way better.
and yea not much really to say about it. its pretty straight forward. its a good low CPU hit and stable plugin.
the sound it really nice. Its not always what I need but good for vocals or a bus when my stripbus is not giving me what I need.
the controls are pretty easy to get you have a threshold a makeup gain ratio and release speed. I usually set it to about 2:1 ratio and just use gentle compression. I love the clean open sound it has and yea that is about it.
its a compressor you all should know how they work by now anyway.
but as far as the sound goes I would say its clean open sounding and pretty good at not destroying the dynamics
sorry for any spelling problems I am being lazy
lets see remember to use your ears because like any compressor it can sound like crap but it sounds amazing I love this thing and use it all the time whenever I want a nice clean open sound

Aiynzahev I really liked this compressor when I demoed it. I demoed a whole bunch of the waves comps and this one stood out. Might pick it up one day. I remember it being kind of warm and adding hype.
jam92189 yea I find the high end seems to sound nice its very clean sounding but still adds harmonics.
