Ableton Live’s Glue Compressor: Relatively smooth on attack and release with some very light crunch/artifacts on the knee. Ableton Live’s Compressor: Absolutely transparent, no distortion, no artifacts, and very, very smooth. Maybe a slight bit of punch added, but this is nowhere near as good as the Waves SSL Bus Comp. Attack times don’t seem to jive with expected results. Cakewalk ProChannel PC4K S-Type Bus Comp: Compression seems extremely weak compared to Cytomic’s the Glue, Live’s Glue compressor, or any other compressor for that matter. Definitely not as good as the CLA-76…not even close. Compression seems weak compared to the Waves CLA-76, however it does add a little punch.
Quite smooth! Cakewalk ProChannel PC76: Kind of hard to dial-in, IMO. Very very transparent, with no distortion or artifacts. Thanks! (Oh, I should mention that the tests were performed in Live and SPLAT, A/B'ed and level-matched against an inverted signal so only the differences are heard.) Cakewalk/Sonitus Compressor: Oldie but still a very good compressor! Wish I could still use it in Ableton Live but it's DX. Without further ado, I give you my non-scientific comparisons! Let me know what you think, and if I'm way off the mark on this garbage/waste of time.
So no more Sonitus compressor (still one of my favorites) or ProChannels for me! But it got me thinking.in testing the Waves demos, I should do a comparison to some older Cake comps as well. My DAW-world is essentially Ableton Live 10 Suite now, with some older projects still residing in the SPLAT realm, just waiting-and begging-to be released from the prison. I don't like buying things I don't really need (easier said than done), and I usually try to check something new against what I already have. I've been testing and demoing a few compressors by Waves, specifically the DBX 160, the API 2500, the CLA-76, and the SSL Bus Comp. 2:43AM's Non-Scientific Compressor-Plugin Comparisons
