Voxengo Crunchessor

Crunchessor - good for drums and percussions.  Fixed ratio, “style” selector - suitable for adjusting the sound for any genre and character.

Deft compressor - good for other track types.  Punch knob - excellent for transients/attack management

Marquis compressor - good as SSL analog for gluing groups (variable soft mode of amplifier - pleasant to the ear).

I recommend all three compressors at once for purchase.

This compressor is so good, so easy to use, so forgiving even at higher levels of gain reduction.  It's become my go to compressor while tracking.  And the subtle saturation when it's pushed is sooo good!  Most times I don't even think to change the attack and release settings.  I also have the Marquis Compressor which might be more versatile (maybe, but Crunchessor is already so versatile), but this one's so easy to dial in.

It's pretty simple why Voxengo plugins are so good - Alexsey has a better ear compared to other developers.

His plugins sound so 'musical'.  I've used many other plugins that technically perform their designed function, yet somehow just don't sound good.

I now have a whole set of expensive plugins that are just taking up drive space.  They simply don't sound as good as thier Voxengo counterparts.
