Voxengo Crunchessor

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.

I bought Voxengo Crunchessor because I needed a sidechain compressor to use with SONAR 6, and Crunchessor is the least expensive sidechain compressor out there (except for the freeware compressors that I couldn't get to sidechain reliably in SONAR).  Little did I know what a cool piece of gear it is.  Now I'm using it frequently, on everything from organ to drums.  It's got a lot of attitude, from very clean to very aggressive, and it works with all sorts of material.  And the side chaining works great too!  This plugin is a bargain.

Hi Voxengo folks!  I just wanted to say thanks for the free stuff.  I've been using your EssEQ, TubeAmp, TempoDelay (LOVE this one), and StereoTouch for a while now.  I'm a VST 'hobbyist' who plays with this stuff for fun when I get a bit of spare time, but I'll never make any money from my 'tracks', I just enjoy playing for fun.  Because of the free tools from people like you, I've been able to learn about things I always thought would be out of my reach - like mastering, synth programming, etc.  I love all of this knowledge, and the ability to use my computer for stuff like this, and again, it's thanks to the amazing talent and generosity of people like you!  I wouldn't be able to get involved in this world and learn this stuff if I had to pay for the commercial products, because I can't afford them and it's not a priority to me.  Anyway, this is becoming a long message!  I just wanted to say a big 'thanks', you have honestly played a part in changing my world.
