thank you niklas. You are a beta but your opion is always welcome!

agreed. It is the first product we released I consider "woodoo".
My personal opinion: it is the best digital bus compressor ever. Waiting for someone who proves me wrong

Still have to try it on different sources, but sounds really nice.
I wonder when Acustica will start selling their plugs cheaper, like £59 or so, they will sell many many more.
well we are doing big discounts this black friday. For example amber, which is 99 eur is 40% off. Several customers have 45% off and it applies on the top of the other one. They are buying at a crazy cheap price

just to explain to people who didn't have a chance to test the product on analyzers, this is the frequency response (attached). @22050 it is almost flat. The compressor preamp does a very subtle smiley curve (more or less 1 dB)
Also
- the compressor works very well in parallel mode (the mix knob), so this cruve is even flatter.
I bet you could use it for mastering!
A lot of people who tested it (ie Luca Pretolesi) reported to me they are using it directly on the master
useful tips
- el ray is incredible on vocals!
- el ray is incredible on drum busses! even EDM ones!
- el ray is incredible on the whole master buss, especially in parallel with a limiter
