Whats the best VST to buy for compression? Its been hinted that compression is the way to give ones productions that professional quality to them, in the context of clarity etc. I use ableton but dont really find its built in ones helpful so I'm looking to buy one which I can learn to use propley and spend time doing so...
Any ideas? PC user here.

youve got the waves c1, probably industry standard http://www.waves.com/content.asp?id=158
renaissance comp- adds colour like classic hardware comp - http://www.waves.com/content.asp?id=123
sonalksis - ment to be as good as high end hardware- http://www.sonalksis.com/index.php?section_id=315
neodynium - new type of compression looks innovative havent tryed yet though. http://www.elementalaudio.com/produc...ium/index.html

Re: Compression
TC Works bundle is fab. The only oine thats made any sense or major impact on my music. Waves isn't bad tho if you can make head or tail of it.

For those of you that has never tried the SV-315 Compressor (Sonalksis) DO SO NOW! Better software can never be found.

Sinus Peak is good for transparent compression (i.e. simply making things louder inside the same headroom) as opposed to making percussion snap and pump and glue rhythms together, and also good if you don't know what you're doing (it's an excellent learning tool if you don't). You'll probably need one of the above for getting that audible, techno pumping compression. Was recently impressed by Sonic Timeworks CompressorX for that job...
Anyway, I dug up this thread for a reason - I found this:

Couple of good articles to be had in there...you may have to join dogsonacid to get at the attachment though.

Well I've started the learning process of compression now (check out my latest tune in the technofiles section!) and I've mainly been using a Yamaha Final Master. Found this excellent so far!
