STC-8 - this compressor is so good for mixing or mastering it's scary

It is rare that I am impressed enough to write anything let alone an unsolicited review. In this case, I have to tell you, this compressor is nothing short or amazing. It has it's own character but can be totally transparent. I've used it to track and it can do both RMS and Peak Limiting in one path! I've also used it to do basic mastering (this is what many big mastering houses use) and although we don't do a lot of mastering, it did the job flawlessly.

If you can only have one compressor, this would be in my short list for sure. I't just plain scary how good it is.

Our Customers Say...

“When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.”
