EDIT2: Another option is to get the SSL bus compressor from.. yeah, you guessed it, from SSL. I have a NFR license for it but haven't used it that much though. Mainly due to the PITA copy protection. Yet another dongle, same system as Reason is using. The WIBU key. You can also run it without the dongle but that means you need to be connected to the net at all times. It sounds nice though. Not sure about their resale / transfer policy though.
hey bmanic, no you don t need to be connected, it s just for installing ,ssl protection is well done and work without hassle
I just tried it and you are right! I have no idea why I got this part wrong.

Excellent! Means I might install it in the studio after all. Any idea if I can use the license to run on two different computers? They wouldn't be used at the same time.

Cheers!

Huh? There is a wet and dry as separate controls in the NI compressor. And it allows for external side chaining which means you can do the filtering yourself. Or is this a major PITA in Logic for the master bus? If it is, you can quite safely use the pre- and post-emphasis technique I mentioned earlier. It works extremely well for ALL your processors that don't contain internal sidechain filters (and is a proven oldschool method for getting stuff to tape the way you want it).

No.

I do get The Rocket very close to a bus glue setting. Even closer than Bombardier.

Here is an audio example of the pre/post emphasis technique using Pro-Q. I used the Duende SSL bus compressor which has no built in HPF in it's sidechain.

No emphasis, Duende doing it's thing like it always does, heavy compression of about 8dB to exaggerate the effect.

Pre- and post-emphasis used. Low shelf set to -16dB at 40hz with a Q of 0.2

Notice how the compressor doesn't really touch the bass in the latter example but signal integrity/frequency response hasn't really changed except for what the compressor does.

Cheers!

I never previously gave it the time of day because i was not a fan of the very popular old timer...

thought would be more of the same.

WOWEEEE!! this rocks!!

Now it does not have oversampling so i must ask, is there any bad aliasing that could degrade my mix?

if not, that's the one.
I haven't used the PSP SSL emu (I'm happy with The Glue), and I'm with you: was never a fan of Old Timer. That said, from what I've seen, Old Timer is great when it comes to not-aliasing. I'd be surprised if the BussComp were any different. You could always load up an instance of Voxengo SPAN and a test tone to try it out yourself though.

I think if you dont have problems with aliasing in Waves or Duende stuff then you will be happy :)

TDR FB II Compressor is really good. However, more for transparent compression, mastering or buss one. I like to hear more "mojo" on the tracks and PSP is right about there for me.
