*Resizing Tip: When you duplicate plug-in, it will remember current state of GUI size. But if you load new instance, it will be opened at default size. To get rid of this issue, simply follow these steps;
1. Open plug-in for the first time
2. Resize GUI according to your screen resolution or you liking before setting any knobs
3. Save this state as default preset with your DAW
Now, you will be able to load new instances with same size.
(If you want to go default size, simply double click to resize handle.)

I've installed the PlugIn, but the VU Meter doesn't work. Is it a bug?
I'm also experiencing meter issues with the latest version. It seems to be reading about 10 db less than the actual amount. I can hear it working well before the meter moves, but it does move if I put the threshold way down.
ROCK ON
If you get a chance, could you update this to create an automation parameter for the external sidechain button? Thanks!
THE drum compressor!! Wonderful!!
This crashed my W11 Reaper session. Where do I file a crash report? What would you like included?
The punch this adds to drums is mouth watering
Hola, tengo problemas para descargarme este plugins. Tengo un ibooks catalina 10.5 y daw logic pro x. Alguien me puede ayudar?. Muchas gracias.
This one sounds gorgeous!
is this compatible with the latest version of pro tools?
This is a great compressor with tons of "vibe" — really enjoying it.. Love it on drums and bass. Well done.
I was about to buy the waves dbx 160, figured id check out my fav Patreon and boom. money saved
Hi, I just became a Patron and wanted to say thanks for all of your work! I (we) really appreciate it. Cheers!
Really nice grab. Great tone! Thanks.
Another legendary work! Best Wishes
The vst3 version is causing a 7.0dB gain decrease when you render/apply processing in Wavelab. You really need to fix the Vst3s.
Hi Tunca, in your features description you talk about "Ratio" but the image only shows "Compression" is this the same thing? Sorry haven't downloaded and tested it yet. Just want to clarify this.
Yes, both same.
It's now released!
all I saw was drum compressor and I was already excited. c'mooon mayne. I can't wait until this releases.
The legend continues !!
Bro, is an incredible big mark what you are doing, respect. Thank you very much for the nice work ,
It Looks like there’s a long list of your plugins I can’t open in Nuendo in OSX as there not signed .. The “open anyway” under security doesn’t work

Can't wait, seems very nice and similar to old DBX tabletop units like the 118
