Hey,

Did you check out the new Kjaerhus GAC yet? I know it's not free, but it could be a great investment. So far I find it on almost every track I make, since I bought it...

(Yes I read your question. GAC is not free, but could be a great investment. And it's aimed at channels, not mixdown (although it probably could fit there too)

Although it has no GUI, MJMultibandCOmpressor is still great:

I think you need to give Final Mix another try.

Or, the standalone multiband compressor...

i don't think you will get any better than the Mackie compressors for free.. I suggest you buy Bob Katz'z book, and learn how to use them.

agreed, i sold ozone because of the final mix with tracktion. Not because FM is better than Ozone- I did some very unscientific tests for my own personal assessment by really pushing the compressors in certain frequency bands and found FM couldn't handle heavier compression anywhere near as well as Ozone. However, I also found that for more normal uses in a hobby studio like mine the difference in perceivable quality wasn't worth what I sold Ozone for!!

It is really individual and there is nothing that i needed it to do that i can't acheive with FM and Endorphin and W1 limiter (without the ugly betabugs GUI...sorry).
