Heads up for the new plugin by Sonimus. This time it's a compressor.

I'm still using the Ableton stock and glue and have been looking for a new one. Tried Presswerk once but it wasn't for me. So this looks interesting.

The Sonimus stuff is all incredibly reasonable priced. It'll definitely be under a hundred bucks.

I dig how simple it is. For most dance music producers, what's even the point of having a compressor with 15 or 20 knobs?

Looks interesting, but quite expensive. Could you elaborate on why you recommend it and how you use it?

I was hoping to get a beta of this.
Looking forward to hear this, love sonimus and as a compressor fiend I can always add some more compression to the collection.

It's a very special compressor, it can be veeeery extreme. It's great for sound design, you can really squish the sounds in very interesting ways. Also it just has a good sound to it, it sounds kind of "raw", i don't know how to explain it properly.

Anyway, it's great for reshaping drums, it can bring out a lot of frequencies and really squeeze them.

Does it eat up a lot of CPU?

Downloading the demo now, interested to hear this, I've been using satson pretty much since I started, though I don't use it so much now, just for the filters. Always loved it though and also get a lot of use out of sonEQ pro so I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with this one!

What do you use now, I still consider it essential console emulation.

Wow just read what Chris has decided to do with his plugins by switching to a subscription/monthly donation model... pretty amazing the whole concept, I really wonder if it can work for him. He always seemed a nice guy.

Have you tried console4? I've been testing it out, finding with something so subtle and something that's used over a whole mix it's not a clear 'that's better' to me so just going to keep using both and see what's good; I've always loved satson though and don't feel a need to change all together! Maybe just nice to have the different flavours and test them.

Also now tucos been out a little while what's people's thoughts on it?

Just wanted to report back after testing these out for quite a while. I've come to my own conclusion that they're both doing quite different things and shouldn't be directly compared as I did when I first started trying out console4.

I actually stopped using satson for a while and have come back round to it recently, it's simpler to implement in the way I work than console4 and I love the filters on it so it's a mainstay.

Without hijacking the thread, though it went quiet a while ago, out of interest are you using it on everything you make or for certain songs?

Just in case anyone reads through these older threads I have some further findings I'd like to share. When I posted previously about satson and console4 I was on the right track but was new to what console4 was doing.

I left it alone for some time. I've been honing my mixing skills this year a lot and have been interested in methods for creating depth in my mixes as I like it. I revisited console4 with a much clearer understanding of what's going on.

I'm now using both satson and console4 together. On the satson buss, no crosstalk at all. Console4 doesn't saturate and add the colouration, it's for depth and for altering the way the channels sit together. I don't think it's for everyone but since getting it properly, I'm loving what it does. Satson handles the console 'sound' part now, together they make a really nice combo.

Another nice thing about console4 is using plugins like Eq, reverb, and delays in between the console and buss plugins can yield a really good sound.

Just wanted to post back having come round full circle.

I've got Satson but I find I use Soundtoys Decapitator much more often. Not sure why--may be that the workflow is just better for me, or that I'm more familiar with it.

I also have Airwindows Console4 but haven't really messed with it.

You put decapitator on every channel in your mix?

Sometimes. You can use it as a console emulation, just keep drive low and use the filters and tone knob to shape the sound. Then turn the drive up if you want saturation. So fairly similar to Satson in that regard, just doesn't have the gain staging feature, or the organizational advantages. But I like the coloration that the E channel (Chandler/TMI TG emulation) brings in.

I fully realize that I'm probably just unfamiliar with Satson, and so not getting what I want out of it yet, but so far I seem to get better results using Decapitator like this. Still learning Satson, though.
