Slate Digital Virtual Buss Compressors VBC (iLok 2 Included)

A little flaky getting installed but after that it is awesome.

By now, everyone working with audio knows what a compressor does, it makes loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder. Yes, this does that. So, why should you pay so much? Because of the vibe.This thing gives life to a track by adding nonlinear harmonics, crosstalk, and noise to a track. Why is distortion, crosstalk, and noise good? Ask your ears. The records you've been listening to for years are drenched in noise from analog consoles, outboard gear and tape machines.If you have been recording clean audio into your computer and wonder why your mixes don't stand up to the recordings of your favorite artists, this is probably one of the reasons why. Your ears like imperfection and this is a great tool (one of many) to add some of that vibe to your music too.
