The best VST Compressors...

[diablodavo]

Hey, I'm struggling to find good quality VST compressors. I find my self reaching for digitalfishphones 'Blockfish' everytime. I could do with a bit more variety.

Anyone have any ideas??

I quite like blockfish but yeah I wouldn't want to use it on everything!

The kjaerhus classic compressor is pretty transparent:

Sounds like you're wanting freebees...

These aren't free but are very descent compressors and have demos. I'm not sure about Ultrafunk though and if it supports VST.

Buss - PSPAudioware - MasterComp

Track or Buss - PSPAudioware - Vintage Warmer

Track - Voxengo - MarquisComp

Track - Ultrafunk - fxCompressor

I've found a few on here I like to use at different times. I like the ones from Buzz software, as they seem to work well, but have many otheres.
