Easily my favourite compressor of the year. This thing just sounds good, right away—and so easy to use! It's going to be hard not to use it on everything.

Great job, NI!!

Love it! Great holiday gift NI! Sounds great on my trance tracks! Can't wait to play with it more!

Excellent Christmas gift! Slapped it on a drum track last night and really made it pop. The eVoucher is nice.. but.. what to spend it on? Funk guitar? The Rick bass? Cuba?

I hate indecision...

I don't think Radiator is any more "analog" like than some of the other established brands. It's awesome, that's for sure, but it's no less "analogue" than a ton of other plugins. Native Instruments soft tube plugins are in my opinion equally impressive.. and so are the Steven Slate plugins.

Personally my current favorite "mojo" plugin is Klanghelm SDRR and U-He Satin. Ironically neither tries to emulate any specific hardware but they are awesome at giving "mojo" to things.

Then there is Bootsie's latest compressor too which is ridiculously good when it comes to analogue mojo.

As a freebie, Supercharger is one of the more impressive things I've encountered. It's ridiculously deep. I've yet to explore even half of what it has to offer (due to the sidechain you can feed it very complex signals and turn it from very peak sensitive to whatever you want really.. heck, I just tried smashing some drums with SDRR in the sidechain and it works brilliantly).

Cheers!

ThrillseekerVBL? My second favourite compressor...

It is running in Windows XP here. This is what I did:

Should work with all NI installers.

Works for me in Windows XP following the above.

Excellent gift, but why 95MB?

The package contains several installer .exe's ... the .dll file itself is only a few MB.

The drive on the drums is not my thing, it sounds too digital to me, a bit nasty maybe, it can only be used very subtly.

On bass it was cool enough but the compressor added a really nasty click to my bass that ruined it completely.

thank you. I thought it was just me. Especially rendering it's just click-city on the first transient. But if you just listen to a loop, it's not bad.

Could not activate the thing. The register app accepts serial but when I click "activate" it tries to go online and nothing happens. Anybody with the same problem?
