Thread Starter | Transparent AU/VST compressor?
I'm looking for some recommendations as a starting point. Any help? The primary uses for such a compressor will most often be vocals and mix compression on acoustic/(relatively) minimalist recordings. |

Go for the Sonnox that Sounds to me very Transparent and not coloring if the warmth knob is disabled.

The Sonnox Dynamics is a great choice but also check out the Flux pure compressor its the most transparent compressor I have ever heard.They do a Demo where you can really check it out without having an ilok.

Sonnox is excellent and can be very transparent. War |

| http://www.airwindows.com/f/Pressure.dmg I did 'VariMu' to be still more transparent than Pressure while also being a variable ratio comp, but some people prefer Pressure (which is free) Since it's free, you might want to try it even if you don't want to look into VariMu...

As previously stated... Sonnox. I actually think the Renn Comp can be pretty transparent, too...

Of the comps I have currently I've settled on the Renn comp for these duties, which it does surprisingly well. Seems like there's got to be something out there that's a good step beyond it though... I think I had looked at the Sonnox comp before, but I don't have an iLok. Maybe it'd be worth getting one to try this compressor out. |
