George Daly, American music executive, video and music producer, songwriter and musician, CEO About Records - About Songs I believe this PSP compressor/limiter will become a classic, especially since it seems to mimic, 100%, its old-school sire, the sound of which (time flies!) is the original 50 year-old true classic. I very much enjoy this sound, every mix needs this somewhere in the recipe, and with the NY 'Mix' knob, it can sit right across the bus. But, don't come to this plugin expecting invisibility, but richness and power and punch. Add in the Side Chain mode and you've got it all.

Beautiful tone, and the addition of the New York compression (parallel mix knob) is always a needed addition to the controls of any compressor/limiter. This one has the advantage of being Native. PSP FETpressor! What a sound! Love it! This is not to be confused with some invisible brick wall limiter, no way! The sound brings back 1974, instantly! I have never auditioned a virtual (non-hardware) compressor that so closely emulated the overall tone and smoothness 'with punch' of the venerable Black Face 1176.

I don't think there's another plugin out there that does the job quite like the PSP FETpressor. You can crush it and yet it still remains warm and fairly transparent.

I've had a couple situations where the vocal level was unruly jumping around all over the place and simply tweaking the threshold on the default setting gave me a controlled vocal without the crushed sound one might have gotten with an 1176. The new PSP FETpressor plug-in is ridiculously good on vocals.
