Where have you heard it?

I have heard it in a sound studio. Not sure if there was a Pioneer EX9000 on the house.

Yes, the Diet Audio plugin is above average in sound . Only problem is it dependends on a fixed threshold. I had to invert the resulting sound also.
Couldn't find a way to buy for the paid version.

Unfiltered Audio SpecOps maybe, it can definitely make a spectral gate in any event.

Guess what!
Just bought Waves StressBox. Installed the paid version to reduce problems with the license's shit.
While it does a fairly good job on compression, the expansion algorithm pumps a lot, oscillating volume on a full mix. It's not spectral so the latency is very small.
Want my money back.

What about free spectral compressor by Robbert van der Helm?

Very nice collection of plugins; yet the nightly builds currently seem to be on hold.

I have tried the Robbert compressor plugin. It's a nice one, but the threshold is fixed.
Would pay a lot more for an advanced plugin like this.
