Cytomic 'The Glue' Compressor

[adl]

Kills on drums!

It's great on the mixbus too. And it also works a treat on electric bass.

I also use it on the Mixbuss, sometimes even two in a row with these settings:

First:
30ms attack 100ms release

Second:
3ms attack 300ms or 600ms release

each doing 2dB's of GR.


Very nice for taming peaks and get a more balanced mix.

The Glue doesn't work in the new Logic 9.1 when using 64bit mode. It doesn't pass any audio through :S

I'm sure Andy will release 64bit versions soon!

Logic 9.1 64 bit news:

I've had a look into the Logic 9.1 64 bit update and I can confirm that their 32 bit bridge application breaks compatibility with The Glue. I have tried to debug it to see what is going on but attaching a debugger crashes the Logic 32 bit bridge application. I am in contact with Apple to find out what the problem is. The Glue works just fine with Logic 9.1 in 32 bit mode. I have been in contact with FXpansion and the 32 bit bridge does not work with BFD2 either.

I plan on doing a 64 bit version of The Glue for both Win and Mac this year but at the moment there are a couple of bug fixes and the Win Rtas which take priority. Once I've finished those I'll assess how long the 64 bit version will take and let everyone know when I plan to tackle it.

Back to the bug fixing and Win Rtas version for me!

Win Rtas news:

A quick update on the Win Rtas: I've got it loading and processing audio including external sidechain processing, but there is a shutdown bug causing problems I want to fix before release, but it's looking good for the end of Jan.

64-bit VST would be interesting!
Gotta say that I use Glue in various amount on every mix I did since I bought it!
Any info on what you plan next?

[djsubject]

the glue is in every mix i have done since i got it,

Vox, & Drums Mostly (but not exclusively!!)

I still love it

64 bit news (snip)

fwiw, the glue runs happily inside reaper's vst bridge on windows 7 x64.

News update: The Win Rtas was delayed little since I took some extra time to update The Glue to be 64 bit ready and can report it's working great with Logic 9.1! I need to do some more testing and also do the 64 bit Win version before releasing them both as in v1.0.16, but for the time being I will be releasing v1.0.15 by the end of next week which will include:

* Windows Rtas support
* Logic 9.1 using 32 bit bridge mode now working
* Mono now working in DP6
* Menus and dialogs now showing even when in full screen mode of hosts
* Better support for hosts without sidechain support

Great news,
If it does not break the workflow of people is it possible to have always visible the values on gui and not only when we mouse over?

I also wait your next product as i read your interview in CM Andy

Ps: I am scared to demo synth squad because i am sure i have to buy it then

Great news! Thanks for all this hard work Andy. If you need someone else to test the x64 version just send me a mail

Have a nice day!

Once it's ready I'll release it to everyone in their download section with a big label saying something like "Beta version - not production ready so use at your own risk"

In current version the signal path is already 64-bit, no?

Anyway, great news, with this addition 64-bit mixing starts to look better for me!

Sorry for not specifying before, but the 64 bit I'm referring to is the memory model not the internal numeric precision of calculations. The Glue already uses 64 bit numbers internally where needed. There will be no audible difference between the 64 bit and 32 bit version of The Glue, it's just for compatibility with the newer 64 bit operating systems.

Thanks!
So, can you drop us a hint what's on your roadmap??
Please, please tell you're doing something new
