    Supercharger GT, which you can get for 15 bucks if you have the free version in your account already, packs some serious punch. Very underrated. Only downside: no oversampling.

    With oversampling on? I always use realtime oversampling off with automatic highest oversampling when rendering. The latest update should reduce CPU load by the way, it was released a week ago or so.

    Since not all compressor support this, I'm doing this kind of comparison without it.

    And BTW, the Supercharger GT is another CPU hog, even if it takes only half of MJUC, just sayin'. But it sounds quite good, I'll give you that.

    That's more of a distortion box though. Not too versatile as a general purpose compressor.

    Kareem Carr and Harvard were mocked for 2+2=5 Woke stupidity.

    This Wokeness in the World is a Cancer damaging everything.
    And this Wokeness allows for uneducated/agenda person driven to state "debatable" as arguments
    with agendas to change history/proven data, facts.


    Science established that
    Aliasing is bad in any signal Audio/Video.

    Oh my... wow... You sound like the idiot who gets kicked out of the jazz club after 5 minutes for annoying everyone by constantly complaining that the pianist is playing the wrong notes for the key.

    You were asked a while back to actually recommend something and I haven’t seen you do it. Curious what you will say.

    SK Note Disto should be similar to Arouser,
    I’m pretty sure they don’t use iLok.

    I don't own Arouser but have tested it. I bought Disto from SKnote a few years ago and it's good, but I find Arouser to have more...gusto. The saturation is more pleasing to my ear and the compression is easier to set. The GUI is nicer also.

    Nope, not really. I just wonder if you just have no idea what you're talking about, are an incompetent troll, or are mentally challenged. You're telling everyone here how stupid they are, and outing yourself as... well... stupid?

    Aliasing is an artifact caused by combining the frequency bands below n/2 and above n/2 when generating sound material above nyquist. Every process in audio inevitably leads to artifacts. The question is: Can you make the artifacts work for you?
    Aliasing can be used intentionally to break up the harmonic pattern and cause a microtonal or dissonant shift of harmonics.
    By saying that aliasing is always and fundamentally a bad thing, if one were to follow this logic further, frequency shifters and ring modulators would also be fundamentally bad. Bitcrush processors would also be bad. And Eqs too, because they mess up the phase response. Etc, etc. Any applied process would be bad because it adds artifacts to the source material. So it's better to just do nothing at all. Well, for some that may certainly be true :winker:

    Sometimes it's better to just shut up when you have no idea what you're talking about. Peace!

    But don't we try to reduce aliasing if it can be done? As per Chris from Airwindows...

    "I dropped everything and started devising ways for my plugins to alias less, or differently, in hopes of stepping farther away from ‘ITB sound".

    I just go with my best sources of info, so please educate me.
