Well, I still am quite fond of the Flux definition of a channel strip being a tool with which you are able to get about 70% of the mixing done. And how are you going to come even close to that with a compressor that has a fixed 1:1.5 ratio?escalona wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 4:32 am This thread seems to be not really about "Best channel strip plugin that's NOT emulation of SSL, Neve, API, Amek, etc."... but rather about stalking and creeping up to people bringing an original, innovative or cool idea and then jump on top and shit all over it for god knows what reason... That Blyss from Kush (EQ, saturation and compression... though House of Kush sells it simply as an EQ) now is "not" a channel strip... what are we doing here, reading the small print on the webster dictionary?
By the way, so far Blyss sounds awesome. 1 hour playing with it so far and it's very hard to make it sound bad.
But, anyway, "it's not a strip channel", so I'll go back to the newest KingOz thread...
Kush really know their stuff - they don't advertise it as a channel-strip because they obviously neither made it for that nor do they think it's any good for that. They created it as a mastering-tool and they advertise it as such. And a 1:1.5 compression ratio is perfectly fine for the mastering purpose this compressor has (i.e. mild compression that comes before the final limiting).
But of course you think you know that a lot better than Gregory himself does... Dunning Kruger at its best yet again...
I agree that this thread is steering towards the absurd, but our opinions on who is responsible for this greatly differ.
