I am hoping for Abbey Road brilliance pack or Weiss stuff.

 

After doing some more research on Volume, I get the impression not all the better plugins are in the Volume bundles.

I'm really hoping it's the germanium comp. I had Michael Brauer mix a song for me and he sent me his mixbus preset for it and recommended I try it for more bottom on my mixes.

I've tried the demo and his preset adds some pants to it.

Looks like germanium comp on right...

After that endorsement James, now I need to look into it. Thanks a lot...ughh

Yeah, when Michael specifically recommended it to me via a Zoom call based on his experience with my song, it became the definition of "must buy".

He has a unique action , that alone is worth the try , it's not a 1176 , an ssl , vari mu ect ....UNIK ...

Second : it works really well on any sources  i tried .... hence you know how to use it 

This leads me to the 3rd part : not for kids ,kinda triky to handle  to understand the beauty of all the poissibilities ...

It will handle bass , vocals , drums andything like top of the top , usually comps fail in at least one area .... the KEY is the handling of the feedbck drive and so the freq response , at default setting , you will have some serious meat on lows

 

My take on it :

That's the one. I haven't spent much time with it. I put it on the master bus of a project I'm working on, loaded Michael's preset, and decided I need to purchase it.

I might reach out to his assistant and ask if I can share the preset. I wouldn't do that without permission...

Larry and Zo can be celebrity endorsers.  They may bite if you present it that way. On my part I have a special skill at making compressor presets sound horrible when I try to use them so no concern from my side ?

Tell me what you think because I can't use that thing enough, just love it.

How do you use it?  I need to try it again.  I was thrilled to get it in the T&T bundle too, but after a couple of tries I was kind of "meh" and have never really used it...

[PhonoBrainer]

I tend to use it on sources that need a bit more low and mid presence. I wouldn't feature it on cymbals. I like how it thickens my nasally vocal! Great wet/dry blend. I usually run it at about 70%, anything higher starts to crush stuff.

The downside might be CPU usage, it's not light, and you can't dial it back with any oversampling settings, there are none.
