Voxengo Crunchessor

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.

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 am so thankful for the tools that you have made.  I am able to achieve control over sound that is simply impossible with "two-knob plugins." They certainly have their place, but I prefer to understand the character of different flavors of sound and mix/transform music with conscious intention, just as songwriters do so when creating their work initially.  Your tools enable me to express what I see/hear in my mind's eye/ ear.
