This plug in is a sweet gem 💎. The UAD Tube Tech CL 1B MK1 or (softube version if you don't have an Apollo) So transparent yet not at the same time. Able to smooth the punchiness of a vocal while also retaining the dynamics. The trick is in the 2:1 ratio. Dial that knob to 2:1 as far as it will go— make your gain reduction average -3 and peak at -5 max. On most compressors this would cause a squashing sound but the butteriness of the analog emulation paired with the 2:1 ratio sounds like perfection. Now sometimes you should adjust your attack and release if it is squashing the vocal. You want your needle to be "breathing" with the vocal in stride. I've recorded hundreds maybe thousands of songs using this method and I can't get away from it. Try it out for yourself.✅
