At Podfest last week Bryan Entzminger told me about this plugin – Cytomic The Glue (basically modeled off the classic SSL Buss Compressor). When asked for comment he said, “I like to set it to CRAZZZZY. Super fast attack. Very fast release, 4:1 ratio, and targeting 2-3 dB of compression. Pretty much the only things I tweak are the threshold (obviously), the makeup gain (sometimes) and maybe the high pass filter if the intro/outro music has heavy bass information that’s over-triggering the compressor.”
It retails for $99 but of course you can always try before you buy 😉
I haven’t tried Cytomic The Glue yet, but I will, at some point.
