Your drum bus will thank you
I got this because it was basically the same compressor Nolly uses on his master bus. I used it and wasn't personally fond of it(I'm quite taken with an 1176 compressor on my bus), but I knew I wanted to use it on something, so I put it on my drum bus. It brought everything to the same kind of aural plane, without just smashing the snare drum. It also just makes the kick drum sound absolutely amazing and really brings it out without overpowering everything else.
I've also been using it for overdriven bass lately(after my drive, fight me) and it keeps it nice and solid sounding!
This compressor is great for low end and it's probably my new favorite for that sort of thing. Absolute 10/10
Killer plugin
Very happy with this plug in. I actually had it before and had to replace it so not new to me. Cant go wrong with this compressor
