fese, you speak some truth. But in general I prefere to use less tools. And with a faster release I would be fine 80% of the time with the FET. Now it's only 40%. So instead of just making the release a bit faster I have to switch to another plugin to try it. 80% usage is for me 'THE one'. So I hope it's nowunderstandable why we discussed this point.

By the way. Plokis idea to have an alternative more agressive 1176 model in VLA-FET in addition is pretty cool. So you could just switch to another model inside the compressor, while keeping the same UI. TrackComp also has 2 for example.

To me that sounds like TrackComp.Ploki wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 2:09 pm I don't want to emulate analog mixing workflowi want a plugin that emulates the topology of an analog compressor and apply that to all benefits of digital workflow

I agree here, I like that in Trackcomp. When I want a more aggressive 1176 with more pronounced hi end, I’ll use the A, else the F (Or was it ‘E’? Can’t remember).midi_transmission wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 3:29 pm By the way. Plokis idea to have an alternative more agressive 1176 model in VLA-FET in addition is pretty cool.

I don’t know the VLA-FET very well yet, I just got the bundle. I also got the PSP recently for 20 bucks, so I probably have maybe 5-6 1176 emus now... insane
I’m pretty sure that’s more than enough for the one-instance-of-each-1176 restriction I proposed... don’t think I ever used more than three or four in a song. Vocals, drum room, electric guitar, maybe snare

It wasn't meant as a suggestion like "hey, you should check out TrackComp" but more of a "yep, makes sense why you like it."Ploki wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 4:53 pmwell, i don't know what to reply to thatFunkybot's Evil Twin wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 3:30 pmTo me that sounds like TrackComp.Ploki wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 2:09 pm I don't want to emulate analog mixing workflowi want a plugin that emulates the topology of an analog compressor and apply that to all benefits of digital workflow

If it got on my radar sooner... I'd probably get it.
However, since i have the BRA bundle + Voxengo bundle + iZotope bundle + Presswerk + Uhbik Compressor + Unisum + Pulsar Mu/Smasher + FabFilter Pro C-2 + Fuse VCL-515 and 25A..
It doesn't do anything these above can't do...
You know, I may have a problem with compressors.
In my defence, i didn't buy a single EQ except the ones i got in bundles but wouldn't have bought otherwise anyway, and i don't have nearly as many limiters (only bundled ones)

I'm pretty sure I have a bigger compressor problem. Definitely know the feeling. Even have some hardware clones now to go along with the plugin clones. And you'd think I'd stop but I just bought Unisum just recently. It's a sickness.Ploki wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 7:52 pm You know, I may have a problem with compressors.

I’ll have to try that. The BlackAsh or whatnot compressor is good at that.acYm wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:27 am anyone tried this as just a tone box or saturator? I heard it's good at that.
