Here is some more audio content with the Overstayer compressor. I simply don't have approvals to throw up vocals clips (a couple of you PM'ed me about) but here are some files that'll give you a taste.

The drum example is first a raw tracking bounce followed by a drum mix stem with Overstayer on the buss. Notice how powerful and punchy the second half is.

The rock guitar is a quick before and after with dirt engaged. These guitar aren't very good but within the context of the mix they bloom nicely around the other instruments.

On the alternative rock snippet notice how loud the sidestick is w/o compression and once engaged notice how loud it still is but everything else in the mix fills out.

In the pop example I love how it shaves the peaks of the drums and has so much more apparent loudness without feeling too smashed.

On the hip hop joint, which was already grimey around the edges, it is magnified yet contained without power being taken away with the Overstayer.

All three 2 bus examples are all just before & after examples, they were not mixed with the OS, it was added after the fact as an example. (Sorry I can't post unreleased clients files that were mixed thru muliple Overstayers...but they really shine.)

Here the are various examples:
