Nothing to say. niquel manual, the factory preset allow to understand the soft

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

It turns and it oar not.

OVERALL OPINION

Compressor sound quality, I find it too deadly on kick drum or loop, although it looks set immediately to his fishing. However, a problem my rag: the lack of precision. and yes the wheel does make their own way sometimes. pourkoi can not just DOUBLED Clik on the value and we returned with our same keyboard? who knows .... because sometimes I have ever managed to have the value I wanted. ms ready Kelka a hundredth of course, but I like to be precise.
thank you

The installation is very simple. We can Tlcharger version dmo to test, and the cl dbloquer sent him by Torben same.
The manual is clear trs, well done. It is pro.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I work in Mackie Tracktion 2, AMD2400 +, 1GB of RAM.
This plug is very little trs intensive CPU usage.
Plug stable and efficient, and it dsign this.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm really bluff by the quality of GOLD SERIES Kjaerhus plugs, and the absolute Fawn. The audio quality of these plugs and color / efficiency is really noticeable. Full transparency, this compressor is magic on vocals / guitar, and really gives the boot on percussion. He does APRS Modl of the largest compressor according to a technology dveloppe by Kjaerhus.

There is a kind of limiting output, as it does not saturate. In addition, undermines the advice below, you can rgler trs fine custom settings but do not forget that the goal is to "breed" of vintage aircraft. This desire to "be prcis" does not really make sense. Before, we rglait the knob and the ear without the dcouper dB in four!
So I was going.

I will be clear trs. Since I use Kjaerhus plugs (SERIES Gold), the quality of my mixes sound and my sound has just amlior. One has the impression that everything that happens in the GEQ-7 and GCO-1 appears beautiful.

Like all products of this brand has moved and registers without problem ...

The only configuration for the registration of the key.

I have yet to consult the doc saw that the product is intuitive and the trs SETTING THE basic dj rev performance (the doc seems only useful if you want to get sound vintage).

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Asus / P4 3GHz / 2GB RAM / RME card

I replaced the compressor in cubase it in my mix and not too resource intensive.

No major problem in Cubase SX3 (just a crash by trying to activate the auto-gain phase cost of a mix).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months and it is day and night with the other essays.

With all rglages offered for not finding the desired sound is put ill will ...

In addition, it is clear or audible according to your choice and rglages!

A two or three times its price, and I j'achte an economy!

I recommend this brand without problem (I also use the GEQ7, the GM01 and GAG1).

Testing the demo
No problem install.

OVERALL OPINION

I had not found the EQ exceptional, but the compressor is another story.

I agree with previous opinions, in the sense that it can be absolutely transparent and work without being heard.

a little comparison with other plugins:
Blockfish: Freeware less flexible, less transparent than the GCO-1, but with more character, more "dirty". I prefer to GCO-1

Voxengo Crunchessor2: that it has more punch and character to a battery or a bass, but the GCO-1 is more flexible and transparent.ce are complementary rather than competitive compressors

Voxengo Marquis: these two compressors rather close in their sound quality, various options paramètrage.Ils are both very flexible and I see no better than the other to compress.
The GCO-1 has the advantage of working more as expander.
at the time, I was captivated by the qualities of the Marquis (in addition to the attractive price).
these are two good choices of native polyvvalents compressors.
I still have a little comparison to the level of the processor.

UAD Precision Bus Compressor excellent, also transparent, with less adjustment. they are two different approaches: the GCO-1 is more complex to use, but offers a broader sonic palette. the accuracy is more simple: the test on the source, it checks out, we keep, it does not stick, one is used autre.les two can make deep cuts without any saturation of unpleasant.

The GCO-1 compressor is a great Swiss Army knife that made me a very good impression with its sound quality and versatility.
there are also other provisions in Kjaerhus compressor with fewer adjustments of all kinds, but are also very useful when one wants to work quickly without leaving sound quality on the bench.
