Ableton Live 9 introduces The Glue Compressor, an analog-modeled compressor based on a famous console bus compressor from the 1980s. Additionally, EQ Eight has seen some major enhancements for Live 9, including brand new SVF filters for a more accurate and smoother sound. If you are using the ableton Glue compressor: first turn down the compression range to 3 db.( to limit the range of the compression that is applied to the audio signal ) turn up the threshhold to the maximum(-40 db) to let the whole signal coming through. Release and attack highest posible. Candle 1.1.
Hi everyone,Recently I've been going through an exercise to cut down FX plugins and learn certain ones inside-out. I've sorted my choice for EQ, Reverb and Delay and now I'm looking at compression.
Anyway, I was testing Glue Compressor against a variety of Waves plugins:
Waves CLA-76
Waves CLA-2A
Waves SSL Bus Comp
Now these are all different styles of compressor (1176, LA2A & SSL) but I felt the best all rounder, and often the best sounding, was the Glue Compressor! I tested against a few things; bass, drums, parallel.
I must admit I was surprised given the price of these.
