I have tried several compressors, including Cali76 and Diamond. I have also been doing session work on mostly electric-bass since the 70s. Participated on, last time I counted, over 250 released recordings so I do know a bit about what I am listening for. Compression is very subjective, though, so this is my personal preference. I really like the Hyper Luminal. It gives me control of the things I need. Ratio, attack and release. It has a blend function which is essential for me. The three different types of compression are different, I personally love the SSL-clone. And it´s really quiet. Out of the box it sounds prefect but I realize that the tweaking I can do via the USB is really deep. But right now, not having gone there yet, I really love the sound. Recommended!
