A little overhyped

MarObu 24.08.2023

After long time of working with other compressors, I got the "ultimate emulation" from UAD. And was pretty disappointed, nowadays sound/quality of this plugin is not far away from other, much cheaper/free plugins.

Der API 2500 ist ein, nach meinen Kenntnissen, in USA Studios ein sehr beliebter Kompressor. Egal ob auf einzelnen Spuren oder im Mix/Master Bus. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Kompressoren bietet dieses Gerät sehr viele Einstellmöglichkeiten mit denen man sich erstmal befassen sollte. Kennt man diese hat man sehr viele Möglichkeiten den Sound nach Belieben und Geschmack zu formen. Also: Lernen-Nützen-Hören-Freuen.
Ja, ich freue mich dieses Plugin zu besitzen.
