I was already a fan of Andrew without knowing it, as I loved the Synth Squad engine as well as I’ve always loved the FX in BFD and Guru, Geist, etc. This is a great plugin that meets my criteria for plugins, it sounds good, it’s easy to use…and it’s light on the cpu, which means I can use it a lot! I really like the addition of the ratio knob, this helps you get the exact sound you want without over smashing or over compressing the signals.Īnd bottom line to me, it’s musical…I can use it as a regular tool when I’m making music, this is always important to me as I’m a producer/beatmaker first…not an engineer. In general, I don’t run into the stale or lifeless sound that can sometimes come from many compressors and compressor plugins, it doesn’t strip the dynamics of whatever I am using it on, even if I push it to the max. I also find that the oversampling options actually do make a difference, and if you have the cpu power to use it, it’s definitely an added bonus.
#CYTOMIC THE GLUE VS SSL HEAVY METAL HOW TO#
I like that the presets are very descriptive and allow you to get an idea of how to use the plugin. I mean mainly I’m using a compressor to beef up my drums or other sounds.īut what I also find is that this is one of those plugins that just sounds good over the entire mix, like something I would use as a default in my regular template, just to have as the default output of all of my tracks. What I find, for me, it’s easy to dial in the right punch/thickness that I’m going for. This is all that matters right? Especially with a compressor! This company and product is the handy work of Andrew Simper, you may know his work from the DSP programming in DCAM Synth Squad, or the FX in BFD, Guru, Geist, etc…yeah…that guy 🙂 It’s a compressor, with character…that doesn’t require you to take out a small loan! Really though, the idea behind it, at least in my mind, is to capture some of the classic analog character and “magic” found in the SSL, while allowing it to deviate with some added features only possible in software. It’s meant to go on the mix bus…hence the name “glue” which implies it pulls everything together into a cohesive gob of audio ecstasy!
#CYTOMIC THE GLUE VS SSL HEAVY METAL SERIES#
It’s a compressor plugin, analog modeled plugin that is based on the classic SSL E and G series boards I’m no engineer…so I like stuff that’s pretty straight forward and has characterĮnter The Glue…an analog compressor plugin modeled after the British classic….the SSL I’m not a super fx guy, I think they are really personal and depend on user taste and what you are looking for.įor me, when I ask my buddies about mixing/fx tools I ask for something that sounds great, but is also easy to use Wanted to mix things up a bit and get into some fx/tools that many of us use….
