    Default Best Mac VST compression

    Hey everyone, as the thread topic suggests I'm looking for a good MAC compression VST to use in cubase.

    MAC stuff is hard to come by illegally so price will be a factor, but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

    :)

    Geez it looks good dunnit...

    Fundage probs though. at 400 US for the bundle, it equates to about 650-700 AUD (yes I'm an aussie)..... and to afford that I'll have to wait a loooooooong time.....

    the waves renaissance compressor is pretty good from memory, but i have to admit it's been a few years since i've used it... i'm a big advocate of hardware compression these days...

    thanks Machina. I'll be looking at hardware compression when I've paid off my laptop, until then I need to get by as best I can....

    is there a reason you're looking for VST in particular, as opposed to AU?

    no AU is audio instrument. so rather than plugging in to a program it can act as a stand alone piece of kit if you get what i mean

    erm, no.

    Audio Units are mac platform plug-ins. they are analogous to VST and can be instruments or efx. but they are plug-ins either way, for OS X only.

    there's tons of free AU plugs/instruments out there, just like there are free VSTs.
