★★★★☆In general this is an absolutely great sounding Vari-Mu compressor. I use it on almost every project.
There is one thing that is rather annoying and that is the when you select and save your presets and there are no markings or highlighting of which presets you have used on a project which means you have to make yourself a note of this somewhere. Any chance this cold be fixed in an upgrade? -

★★★★★This gets used constantly, I haven't done a song without it since picking it up. Just love the feel it brings to everything it touches. The travel knob puts a sweet retro blanket on your source material & kills off any harshness in the signal. The vari-mu compressor section isn't the most intuitive because of it's odd naming convention (AC Thresh & DC Thresh) but after a little time spent with it you'll get the idea pretty quickly. It's got the "warm hug" feel of a nice vari-mu comp, but it can turn into an all out death squeeze if you push that DC Thresh (Ratio & Knee) really hard. The saturation is delicious, & you get two flavours with this one. One from the tubes (Drive) & the other from the transformers (Makeup) & combined these flavours make for an especially tasty combination. This is one of those "secret weapon" pieces of kit, without question. -
Impressive
★★★★★This plugin is great for tracks, stems or buses: the translucent broad-spectrum sound of the two EQ's is fire; and, not only does the 'travel' knob have a fresh timbre for rolling off harshness in the higher frequencies, but I can max both EQ's while pushing the drive knob much farther than I'd ever go before I start measuring any meaningful aliasing. Great job again by NEOLD! -
Into the mastering chain she goes!
★★★★★Extremely useful as a mixing tool, and equally as useful in mastering. I like to dial in a nice gritty vintage tone and then back the mix off to 15%. In this application, the Wudnerlich tames digital harshness in such a pleasant way, and adds a touch of all the right kinds of mojo. A new favorite of mine. -
Impressive!
★★★★★It took me no more than 2 minutes with the trial in a current mixdown to convince me to purchase. Absolutely amazing! I had a chat with NEOLD about 2 weeks ago, and they told something really great was coming very soon. They certainly were not exaggerating. This plugin is beyond excellent for vocals and much more.
