Hi, WHITEAXXXE!

I’m a bit late on this, but please allow me to clear this up for anyone who might be reading this in the future.

The part about compression, EQing, and reverb being fundamentals I’m sure we can agree on.

I’m going to assume that the part you take issue with is the “analog-sounding” part. I fall more on the side of “who cares” when it comes to analog vs. digital, but I do maintain that there is a difference between a transparent compressor (for example) and one that colors the incoming signal.

That coloring, or “warming”, is due to varying levels of saturation, something that tends to be attributed to analog gear – hence, “analog-sounding”.

I personally use analog emulations almost exclusively – not for some sort of elitism or badge of honor, but because I enjoy the effect it has on a mix – it really brings everything together to my ears.

It’s also fun for me to see what classic gear looks like, learn the history, reference how different records that used it sound, etc. The cultural aspect of it is neat.

Also, I tend towards a more tongue-in-cheek tone, so when I say something is a “rite of passage”, it’s somewhat semi-serious. Though you probably do need to learn how to compress if you want to progress beyond a certain stage.

Have a nice day, follow your dreams, and stay safe.

Excuse me, but how did you come to this conclusion?

i havent tried neither of them, but it looks as if they emulate two different analog compressors.
so probably the spectral colour and reaction curves are different, maybe also the attack and release times and the possible ratios are in different ranges, and so on. its just two different devices.
interesting for you to look up could be the general technical and sound differences between tube compressors, vca compressors, fet compressors in hardware.

As the name suggests it does Spectral Compression – it is a bit like Soothe or maybe Baby Audio’s Smooth Operator, without the fancy display and freq tweakability.

Seems to be a simple compressor plugin with an attractive little GUI. Lol. What about it is “insanity” to you, Georg? :)

BusterSE is a beast. I have a doubt. They gave a rarese BPB version. It has one panel. There was also a two rack pultec version. Am i right? I love its look
