Hey all, I just lost all of my plugins! i trying to get them back-
Right now I need the ME Compressor! I dont remember if its freeware or not... but it is quite possibly Steinberg.
Its a multiband compressor, red, with green graphics. presets include Bass Guitar, Drumset, Guitar, Vocals, De Esser, etc...
it would be GREAT if someone has it!
Thanks!
ME COMPRESSOR!

Hi,
Well, this will likely get ugly fast. Before it does, I'll jump in.
You're probably thinking of the compressor from the Steinberg Mastering Edition, which I think is both a commercial product and now discontinued. If you have a license for it, maybe contact Steinberg directly to sort you out. If you don't have a license for it, which of course is only hypothetical, it would be best not to say that you don't here, as this thread will turn into a 5-page locked thread of irate rants and insults in less than an hour. Some folk here are very serious about not supporting users of less-than above board software.
And speaking of such software is against KVR's policy. Which of course no one here is.
So, contacting Steinberg, and silence on the subject thereafter, will surely be the agreed upon course of action.
Good luck.

Well of course it was licenced. You are all silly.
I think it came with Cubase VST on my other computer,
I had all of my plugins on that computer, and it just died...i dont remember which plugins were with cubase and which were freeware.
thanks for the help!

1) put in the cubase CD
2) find the said compressor
3) put it in your current VST folder
Am I missing something here?

OK: you all ready for this? The ME Compressor is part of Cubase. If you own Cubase, you own the compressor. Look under Dynamics/Multiband Compressor. It even has the same presets. Silly.

Was that a snapshot of the GUI from SX3? It's different from the SX2 one - I see they haven't made it any more sensible then...like proper threshold knobs and compression amount meters etc...I wish they would though. I really hate the GUI for the SX multiband. (Even though I like the sound - it's a very competent compressor IMO).

Agreed. I love this compressor, but I actually usually just use the presets and tweak them a bit. The Drums and Bass Guitar presets are quite miraculous with the right match! I've even used the FM Radio one for quick rough mix fixes. Good little overlooked plug-in, but bitchy interface for sure.kritikon wrote:Was that a snapshot of the GUI from SX3?

The screenshot I just grabbed off the net. I thought it looked like that in SX 2 (what I use); all the default plugs have a more minimal, 2-D look in SX/Nuendo 3.

That's weird...I wonder if they make different GUIs for some of their plugins for different parts of the world? Mine's similar to that one, but the 2 modes and the output is underneath the characterisitcs graph. It has all the same functions though. Just a different arrangement.
Yeah, I use the presets and tweak them all down a bit. TBH I just use the FM Radio one and pull the bass compression right down, add a few more points to the mid bands to make it softer knee, and pull all the band boosts down to zero. I'd love it if they made a proper compressor GUI and they could then use a switch to swap between each of the bands. I don't think it would be that difficult. I'll be getting a UAD soon - the Precision multiband will be on the top of my list when it's out - it might not even sound any better maybe, but at least it looks like that one has all the usual features of a compressor that you need for really fine control. I hate it when I can't see the meters registering when the threshold is met - that type of thing...
EDIT: Well, I suppose you can see when the threshold is met, but you have no idea how many dBs of compression is going on...

This is the SX 2+ version of which you speak, I think the other image is from Cubase SX 1:kritikon wrote:That's weird...I wonder if they make different GUIs for some of their plugins for different parts of the world?

Yeah, tell you the truth, I don't really get this plugin. There is no indication of the input levels and, as you say, no real knowledge of the amout of reduction going on. Is the bouncing ball the reduction?
Still, it's free, fun and sounds great. Hey - let's write them and ask them to upgrade it. They still include it, I'm sure it would be a half-assed job for one of their programmers.
