Best free 64bit alternative for VOS Thrillseeker LA and DLM SixtyFive (SOLVED!)

HO, so the similarities with SSL channels aren't only from the GUI, interesting. Now I have a reason to use the DD Compressor

I'm actually starting to throw DD channelstrip2 on more and more channels lately. I'm even thinking of setting up my LaunchControl XL as a dedicated controller for it with permanent labeling for the controls

I've basically used every free 64 bit comp at one point and I must say the ADHA and Vice One are about as good as it get's on vocals and the DD ChannelStrip2 is super underrated.

The Accustica Tan might have 2 much latency to track with but it's one of the best sounding comps I've ever tried on my master bus. It really adds a depth to the mix.

Yep, that's pretty much where I landed

Just buy Waves LA-2A and Dbx 160. Not free but often on sale at $29 each. If you're after something so specific, spend a little cash

Commercial stuff is a no go for me. That has nothing to do with money but everything to do with my total hate for copy protection schemes. When my windows machine crashes (when, not if, I was bitten by the october update big time), I just copy back my studio drive backup and I'm up and running again, besides the whole drivers install nightmare which is bad enough to deal with.

Thw ADHD Leveling Tool is the best freeware LA RMS compressor in the free domain imo.

I did some testing already and it seems this is indeed a real good Thrillseeker alternative. So that one is sorted for me.

For a quick attack parrallel comp ive been using WA Productions free CommBear im actually surprised how easy it is to get tight results with it.

But I'm not doing parallel compression, and ComBear lacks the controls I want (mainly being able to set attack and release times).

Other options include AirWindows who got a ton of great compressors like ButterComp2.

I have the Airwindows stuff but having a hard time getting into them. In this case I do need visual feedback of the compression levels (as the goal is to NOT hear the compression).

Do you own DC8C?

Nope

If its about copy protection then just get U-He Presswerk or Native Instruments 2A. Their copy protection is briliant. U-he is just password and user name. Native instruments asks you to use native access, but it doesnt work like ilok or waves central where you have to move licences and sh if you want to use on another computer or your system crashes. its much more friendly.

This has been sorted several posts ago.

I've added SOLVED! to the thread title so newcomers may be aware of that.
