Frontier

Hi, this is my first review on KVR.

Today I've spent the whole day comparing compressors for my voice. And I found out that Frontier gave the best results for my voice. My findings:

• Adds a welcome coloration I didn't find in other compressors.
• Very easy to set up.
• No clicks or plops on my track where other compressors showed these.
• I perceived more volume without any pumping effect.
• It punches while showing air and enough mid-high.
• While other compressors easily make the sound dead, this one doesn't.

For my voice, it's excellent, but for other tracks, I prefer other compressors with more adjustments.

I use analog obsession compressor plugins as reference gold standard = 4 stars.

This one does not sound clean to be match for AO. It distort sound where it should not. Its not that big distortion, lot of plugins sounds much worse. Overall, if you find musical use for it because you like the sound and UI - you might sometimes use it on certain sounds which are distorted already and not very long. On clean long sounds its pretty noticeable.

Download is annoying, while it is free, you need to create account and online authorize plugin on first run.

FOR THOSE CONFUSED ABOUT HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE PLUGIN.

I had no trouble downloading the plugin and getting it to work -

-Simply go to the "Frontier" page on the website: https://d16.pl/frontier.

-On the top right, click the red button "Download free"

-It will prompt you to LOGIN or CREATE AN ACCOUNT.

-Download and activate the Frontier plugin using the login credentials you created on the website.

-PROFIT???

Enjoy and I hope this cleared things up for those of you having trouble.

This sounds really great, hard to fault. But getting the plugin is a real hassle and the site is very cryptic. The only way i could get it was by having an account and also by gettiing a demo of another product but they dont really tell you this at all. I think they are missing out on customers because i have read of people on forums giving up on even getting this because they cant figure it out.
