Published on 02/15/13 at 10:36Quick and easy installation. There is no real manual, just an explanatory note provides information on the various parameters, including those specific to the compressor as the "Decadence" (which oversampling or not active) or the knob "Impetus" (which saturate peaks - note: I love this parameter), or finally "Parallel Compression" (which mixes the processed signal to dry signal method known as "New York Compression" for a very natural sound.

Finally, for those who are not very familiar with compressors, it comes with a lot of great presets configured to cover most possible scenarios.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Never had a crash or problem whatever it is (on Mac Pro / Digital Performer.) This plugin uses very little CPU resources even with oversampling enabled.
OVERALL OPINION
I use the Rocket Compressor for several years. This is a compressor with a fairly versatile but its pretty typical. For my part, I use it mainly for drums. In fact, after trying many other plug-ins (especially in Waves), this is clearly the best software compressor I've found to give maximum punch my drums sounds, whether loops, BAR or acoustic drum. Also, I happened to use it happily on the bass and the electric guitar clear sound. Overall, I am very satisfied and I would do this choice without hesitation!
