It's a s simple as the title suggests... what would you recommend in the way of a good VST compressor?

I guess I should at least try to be helpful. Some free compressor plugins that are good are Blockfish and GranComp. I also like the Mdsp Compressor on certain things, especially if I'm really looking to smash something up good.

By the way, I just did a search for "Free VST Compressor" and came up with 111 results. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Another vote for blockfish. I use it a bit on drums for a colored compression. For something more transparent, try vanilla compressor.

Free up an analog I/O on the interface and go for the really nice compressor

Yup. Plus having a good, easy to use, analog compressor in your toolbox is never a bad idea.

Make sure to turn on the super nice setting!cusebassman said:Free up an analog I/O on the interface and go for the really nice compressor
ReaComp is also really good, but I'm not sure if you can use it without Reaper.

Both the fish suite (Blockfish) & antress have good freebies.

Winner chicken dinner!
UAD-1's LA2A is the best compressor I've encountered for vocals. For everything else it really depends, but I use this one on most of the vocal tracks I do.
