Hi,
I noticed that Slate was having a sale on their Virtual Bus Compressors, half off.
What's the good word from those who have used VBC for awhile?
I shouldn't even consider it since FG-X isn't 64 bit yet and a bus comp as well, but you know.....

Re: VBC On Sale
CLANG -- aaand my wallet loses 1 hit point. Aggh! Must… resist….
My concern with these was always that I would just be re-buying a good software compressor in a different flavor. But as the price drops, I can start to think about ease-of-use.
Does this thing deliver better results with greater ease than, say, the Brainworx comps - Vertigo, Elysia?

Re: VBC On Sale
VBC is a must have for me.. The first time I heard the Focusrite Red emulation across my 2-buss, I knew I had made a good decision!
DP11, 2019 16-Core Mac Pro, Monterey, 64GB RAM. RME HDSPe MADI FX to SSL Alphalink to SSL Matrix console, and multiple digital sub consoles. UAD Quad PCIe. Outboard stuff.

Bought it. Like it. Just used it on one project before hitting the road for awhile, but it was enough to give VBC thumbs up.
