Cytomic 'The Glue' Compressor

[grymmjack]

In 2 days time, The Glue, you shall be mine!!!! Mouhahahaha...

Why 2 days? It's my birthday, and I anticipate getting the usual (and highly appreciated) $100 from my mom Gonna get the Glue with it and I'll even have $1 left over for a bagel. I've been using the demo for the past few days on all sorts of material and.. wow

I've been using Stillwell's the rocket demo for a few months now (without buying it) and I didn't think it would be fair for me to get The Glue and keep using Rocket for free, so I also just got The Rocket and that's my birthday present to myself.

It was great testing a bunch of compressors side by side these last few days. I really got a feel for the type of sound they each produce by roughly matching settings and running different types of material through them.

My list of favorites:

#1 The Glue
#2 The Rocket
#3 Bombardier
#4 Major Tom

Eventually I want to own all 4 of these. Can't wait to see what other stuff Andy comes up with..

I like your list! 4 very good compressors for an affordable price!

+1

in that order too.

I sold my rocket, because I have sonalksis covering me, but Stillwell plugins (esp. the dynamics) are exceptional value for money and sound amazing.

Rocket is a killer compressor way under priced.

I like your attitude pheeleep You are in good company here.

You can already switch on x2 oversampling in v1.0.18, but it is officially not supported yet as it requires more testing. Have a look at the "Settings.xml" file which is located next to your Presets folder. You can open a browser at this folder using the menu command "Show Preset Folder" from inside The Glue. With a text editor you can change the line:
<Tuple Key="OversampleRealtime" Value="Off"/>
to
<Tuple Key="OversampleRealtime" Value="x2"/>

I wonder if you changed the value to x4 or even x8 .. Would you have 4 or 8 times oversampling?-)

This will be supported in the future, but presently this "hack" only works for x2 - any text not matching x2 will switch oversample off.

Oversampling news: I'm in the final stages of testing oversampling, which I have specified to be linear phase and have below -120 dB noise floor from 0 to 20 kHz.

I've done some latency compensation (automatic delay compensation) tests where I up sample then down sample the signal ( x2, x4, x8 ) and then cancel it with the original and it all looks perfect - complete cancellation within specifications. That means that for hosts that support latency compensation every last detail and transient stays exactly where it is even when oversampled. I could post some audio examples or screenshots but you won't hear / see anything so there isn't any point!

we want waves of silence!!!!

not sure if i will use the oversampling, (the Glue sounds just right as it is for me) but i still look forward to testing/playing with it, & i may be wrong again!

i recall thinking the same thing before you updated the algo,

hope you are well Andy!!

• Fixed: freeze on render in Wavelab 7
• Fixed: denormal bug causing extra cpu usage with long sections of silence
• Fixed: improved Pro Tools TDM compatibility (edit: should be improved Pro Tools HD compatibility)

Iwanttothankyouforthisphenomenalplug

Ooops.... I've just applied the Glue

[Peevy2000]

This is indeed great news. I can't wait to get home & try it out!

[shanecgriffo]

i really like being able to set different oversampling rates for live play and rendering.
very handy here, on my pretty old laptop!

After trying it out for a few days I've realised I'm not going to be able to live without this, so just bought it.

Thanks for an amazing plug-in
