Isn't the "AM-Track" compressor just an updated Blockfish? I thought Sascha redesigned it and Dominion (AM-Pulse) for Magix. FWIW, his new reverb and channel-strip look pretty interesting too - http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php

dang, another thread where someone spends so long holding back the bullshit results to their bullshit test that by the time all is revealed, no one actually gives a f**k anymore.

just like the x-files tv show.

hurry up already!

yes hoffy, but here at least someone is trying to compare products in some way. Ok, I should try everything before buying, but ... Market today is a crowded hell, software and hardware producers advertise everything as virtual warmer analog super hot forecasting neural release and vintage gear. Magazines say everything new is super and better, everything is a good tool and you can't work without here and there, people try 1 only cracked toy and say "it is the best" without further comparison, but at the end you discover great mixers and audio engeneers use the same 3-4 expensive toys. I like a bit of criticism and blind tests here.

About your signature, ehi, I know it was only a joke, but 4 statements imho are true.

Yeah they do look quite nice. Hopefully they will somehow be available outside of Samplitude, although I doubt it..

Ok, ok, the waiting is over now!

It's cool to see that many of you preferred the ones I do from this test and from playing around with the demos. I maybe have messed up c03 as someone has mentioned, but thats no problem cause it's too expensive and unflexible anyway

c01: Compadre
c02: 1975
c03: G
c04: SV-315
c05: 1980
c06: GUP-1
c07: Am-Track
c08: Marquis
c09: 1970
c10: MixPressor

I am really impressed by marquis, wonderful sound, very effective and cheap. CPU could be lower, I don't need those 4 meters all the time.(The mode settings were: T3, feedback, soft.)

I also like the 1980 and 1975. Very good sound, easy to handle, sidechaining and low on the CPU.

Thanx for the positive comments guys and I hope some of you will pull up more professional comparisons from a dance perspective! I have always found those very helpful for my decicions!
