I have not taken the time to read the manual because the settings are those of a traditional compressor.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I installed it on a mac mini server Quadcore and a sound card RME. I'm working on PT 10 and I use RTAS.
The plugin is really great, we put on a bus or on the master and it colors the sound before it will compress. It provides an opening that was missing in my mix. It's pretty fantastic.
It emulates three compressors legend: the SSL bus compressor, Focus Ride Red and Fairchild 670.
It seems that a lot of engineers who had one of the hardware version has opted to sell the physical version because the plugin sounds better.
The only major drawback (not least) is that it is very resource intensive (like all the Slate Digital plugins sum) and with my setup I am sometimes a bit limited ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 months and before that I used the Cytomic (The Glue) or the Waves (2500 API) and it just has nothing to do.
As said, the big plus is that it gives a very open and mix color.
The value for money is very good and apart from the problem of greed in terms of CPU resources, this plugin is pretty awesome.
A buy eyes closed!
