Dove down the rabbit hole from KVR news letter to download & try this impressive modeled compressor. Very nice indeed imho. Created 24 Reaper 5 tracks with plugin active @ default setting. Added real audio to 17 tracks (Candlebox - Happy Pills from 'Telefunken Live Form The Lab'). Total running CPU was 42.1% . Brought life to the tracks making them easier to mix. Added SPL Iron to Master bus. Total running CPU 52% . Royal Compressor Has a 15 day no limit try out. Youtube demo: Edit Forgot to mention that this was tested on my old test system Dell N5010 laptop 4Gig, M370 (i3, 2.40gHz x 4) Last edited: Jun 4, 2019
Interesting comments i see on gearslutz from developers of RoyalCompressor, that this is as close to hardware as possible, and they claims that there is no such plugin in the market like their compressor plugins, very true sounding, identical, same... Because of their unique emulation techniques, approaches, algos etc. Also, quote from United Plugins: "... People behind the Royal Compressor worked already on Audified U73 or RZ062 EQ plugins."
Even if they have measured down to component level, the result is not "better" or "closer to the analog original". That's all marketing talk. In the end it's the same simple mathematics and the only thing that matters is: does it sound good or not?
