Need a great free compressor?

[Paulo]

Most of the times I say that i need time to play... There's a thousand of good stuff out there, I have no time for them and i'm a rich and blessed guy... Those guys in big studios, not so long ago, had 20% of what I have. The difference is that they know how to tweak the knobs and I no nothing, no matter the thousands of compressors, limiter, delays, reverbs... It all sounds crap in my hands.

There's much more of difference in the sound of hardware compressors than Vst versions.

I'd argue you can make alot of the plugins sound very similar if they have the necessary controls and you applied a little eq.

Some stuff I use because the interface is just easier

CD, when you talk about  liquid mix, I follow you... It's the same interface for everything, just some lill differences depending on the original specs.. As a matter of fact, a compressor is about treshold, attack, release, and so on... eqs is the same, frequencie, gain, Q... most of them sound different in the tone like guitars amps and everything else... It's a matter of taste... Why do you use a fender a gibson or a ibanez.. it's the tone.

why you like roland, yamaha, korg, kwrzveil, whatever?.. it's the tone, all of them are great.
