Downloaded it a couple of hours ago and am trying out on some drums. It's crazy how good it already is and is still getting better with every update! It has replaced Pro-C2 as my go-to clean comp.

Yep, a great compressor with some very useful parameters.

 

Yes, a great compressor.
Homepage: https://jonvaudio.com/fircomp2/
Price: 23£

 

It seems like a no-brainer if one is looking for a clean machine (though like a friend "with benefits"), especially at this price point and compared to the Fab offering. There also doesn't seem to be a need to be online to register as the license and plugin are downloaded together.

I've talked myself into it.

 

"I LOVE THIS THING", he sang from the rooftops at the top of his lungs, hoping his neighbors both near and narrow, far and wide might embrace his infectious joy. "It's a secret sauce and an elixer of excellence, my new go to for voice, guitars plus equally drums and percussion. Everything fed into it's exquisitly skulpted nose and exhaled from it's lovely lungs is as the air after a late May warm Spring day sun shower, euphonic and sweet".

And goodness is it inexpensive compared to many others. Glad I jumped in head first.

 

There is no license When you pay for it, you get sent a download link and then you just download the vst3 and put it in your vst3 folder.

With this new VCA mode it even sounds great for smashing a parallel drum comp track. If you want more grit you can just put a saturation and/or clipper after FirComp.

 

This is a prime example of a developer doing it right: I didn't even think for a second to make up my mind to buy it, and hope a lot of others will do it too. That one of the best compressors has zero DRM and is easy to install, and so inexpensive, just feels so good.

 

Damn good!
