Only just found this thread now. Yes - this is a REALLY cool plugin. At Ford's suggestion I tried it on snare and WOW that thing is awesome. I wanted to add a bit more authority to some programmed samples and it brought the snare hits to life in a way I hadn't got from any of my other compressors.
Great link, and this plugin should be made mandatory for everyone. I am intrigued by the suggestion to use it on guitars that are too 'bassy' ... I seem to end up with a lot that way and so it is of great interest to sort that out!!!
Meh.
Not massively impressed with it meself. Had it on some vocals & they sounded rubbish.
Guess I'll just keep it around for the day I decide I want "phil Collins" Drums.
Gonna take a punt on PSP Vintage Warmer plug instead.
I haven't experienced it that bad yet but point taken. It does have a HPF in it somewhere so for kick drum run it off a send and mix it in, or put it on a doubled track and bring it up a bit.
Tired of mix I've been working on forever, I threw the LMC on a piano just for grins, and discovered another clever use! Set at about 11:00, and run just a little hot on the input yields a great Obla-di Obla-da piano sound Which is totally useless for what I'm working on
Watch it like a hawk though, it likes to pump here
