Fantastic sound, crappy build quality

The unit sounds great and glues mixes together like silk. It’s solves that last 20%. Also possible to push into angry territory while still sounding smooth.

The plugin is ok, the integration could be a lot better, but it really does the job and having total recall from Logic is amazing!

Lastly, the build quality… there is no way around this. The potentiometers are terrible. The feel cheap, wibbly wobbly and absolutely not something that would be expected from something in this price range. It just makes the whole unit feel like something that costs 300€ rather than a bit over 3k. Hope the build quality is only limited to the terrible potentiometers and not the internal parts.

Amazing bus compressor

Amazing compressor, i use it for mixing and mastering purposes. You can use it subtly or aggressively, depending on your needs and still sounds marvelous. Top product!
