Im looking for a good vst bus compressor similar to Cytomic The Glue, but cheaper
I just want to use it on the master out.
Any suggestions?
(Win 7, x64, Cubase 9).

 

some of these are expensive, some are reasonable, some are free. http://getthatprosound.com/45-of-the-best-compressor-plugins-in-the-world/ Which one you choose depends on the "color" (or none) you are seeking. (Tube, FET, VCA, etc.)

Snakes do a decent job.

 

Check out SKnote and Airwindows. There are a couple options from each that are great and inexpensive.

 

Toneboosters Bus Compressor EUR 19.95

 

Thanks for all your suggestions. Some nice budget comps.
Im refering to The Glue because I love that sound, and it is based on SSL, that is the
type of sound Im looking for.

 

Molot is great, free and will serve you as a color compressor https://vladgsound.wordpress.com/plugins/molot/ and Density MkIII is free, killer as well as all the other great free offerings from Variety of Sound https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/
For the insanely low price of 24 bucks you get http://klanghelm.com/contents/products/MJUC/MJUC.php which is worth six times the price and is a fantastic emulation of a tube compressor, or variable mu compressor. You get three different emulations and all.are great. So, for 24 bucks you can get five different compressors to over aĺl your needs. If you need a limiter for you master buss you will will be overjoyed with Limiter 6` which is also.free. Run wild, run freeeee. https://vladgsound.wordpress.com/plugins/limiter6/

Variety of Sound Density mkIII BUS COMPRESSOR is a great bus compressor. I use it alot of times and at times i like it more than cytomic the glue. It's not an ssl emulation but more of a fairchild emulation but it GLUES things in a way that is musical and like a real analog compressor plus its FREE.

Kotelnikov GE

 

Thank you again guys (and gals).
I love the Varietyofsound stuff, but I use Cubase 9 and there is no support for 32 bit vst.
The JBridge is too unstable...

 

Worth a shot, has some nice grit to it, and it's FREE

 

There is a 64bit Molot. Really, you can't go wrong with it once you get to know it. It is kind of deep.
Edit: I meant Limiter 6°.

Klanghelm MJUC and DC8C (24 and 20 euros, respectively) are excellent compressors (IMO)...
FabFilter Pro-C 2, but too expensive for personal usage.

A buss compressor is one plugin that you don't want to be cheap on, imo. I rarely find a good one.

That said, I second Molot + Limiter 6. It's the only really good buss compressor you can find under a 100$, at least that I know of.

 

This! What's great about those klanghelm compressors is you can toggle it to be transparent or colored (for some vintage flavor)

 

There's also this

Nomad factory Bus Driver. For whatever reason it's been marked down from $100 to $10 for a while.

Between that, Kotelnikov, and the two Klanghelm compressors, you could have a whole library of great sounding compressor styles for under $100
