All user reviews for the Bomb Factory SLIGHTLY RUDE COMPRESSOR

The Bomb Factory Slightly Rude Compressor installed on my computer without any problems or compatibility issues. It was as simple as any other plug-in I have installed from Bomb Factory, which is quite easy. I interface and of the plug-in is easy to follow as it has four knobs - one for input amount, one for release time, one for make up gain, and one for "rudeness." It also has a switch to go between slightly rude and super rude. I believe the term rude in this case is referring to how hard you want the compressor to hit your signal. I don't have a manual so I don't know how sufficient it is, but this plug-in is extremely easy to install and to use and you shouldn't have a need to use the manual.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am running the Slighty Rude Compressor in Pro Tools LE 7.4 on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run Pro Tools LE with a Digi 002R audio interface and I have also run this plug-in on a Pro Tools HD system. In both scenarios I haven't ever had trouble with this plug-in as it runs smoothly even when I want to run a few at a time. Overall, this plug-in is stable with my configuration as I have never had a problem with it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Bomb Factory Slightly Rude Compressor for about a year and I have found it to be a useful and unique plug-in. You can really slam the signal with this, and it can make for use in both practical situations and to get some awesome effects. The plug-in is maybe a bit overpriced, but if you can get it in a bundle you can get a pretty good deal on one of them. Overall the plug-in is useful and would recommend all DAW owners to give the demo version a try to see if it would be helpful to you in your situation.
