all I gotta say is, wow. I was so impressed with this thing from the start, I bought it. I love the compression--better in my oppinion than audio stocker or rocksteady, or even the thomas limiter. i think at it's defaults, it sounds perfect. The compression's definitely there, but it's very subtle. I've found that with the other compressers mentioned above, that they choak the sound somewhat. This volume logic plug-in is beautiful, and definitely worth the 20 bucks.
