The trick now (for me) is slotting this alongside Gullfoss and Bassroom (which I will be demoing soon) in addition to the usual eq/compression.

My instinct is telling me Spectre first, then Bassroom, finishing with Gullfoss.

Also: what are everyone's favorite modes for highs? I haven't used Spectre much but have usually used Solid or Tape for my high end, but may try diode as well.
