[@StudioLife101]

Huh? Oh....his bass plugin....OK.👍

[@MrBrownAlliance]

I appreciate you boys, thanks for checking this one out... Rock lobster, Love Shack etc!

[@petewizz]

Yea love shack

[@trevorgordonofficial]

Great review mates. Debating on replacing my bx_townhouse compressor with this one for the mix master bus. Tough decision 🤔

[@marksaxon]

Love your channel and your insight into these plugins! While I love BX stuff and I own a bunch of them, I have to say I don't know if I want that much going on as I'm mixing into the compressor. All I need is the SC filter to take out the sub-90Hz so it doesn't hit too hard. My favorite of theirs is the Townhouse because it's simple and I'm barely hitting it (like no more than 2 dB reduction). I use that or just the standard SSL Native Bus 2. Some of these plugins seem to be a solution in search of a problem.

[@rossjohnmartin]

Yeah I agree there. I tried it on a track, it sounded good but the more I messed with the other settings the worse it got so loaded up the Townhouse which was simple and just worked. Or maybe I'm just simple 😆

[@marksaxon]

@@rossjohnmartin Thr Townhouse is so good. Clear and sits behind the scenes. Let the other plugins do the color and heavier lifting.

[@jaylevzi7293]

ROAM !! B-52's how can anyone forget that.

[@johnnyrenfield]

You had me at the B'52's

[@DJAdalaide]

Bitwig 5.2 Beta has a new compressor (Compressor+) and its really good - its sidechain has 4 bands instead of 2 plus loads of different compression modes.

[@KYTHERAOfficial]

Wish Bitwig had visible gridlines 🥲😢

[@Tha_Mekka]

Just like the video caption says, BX definitely won me back over with this plugin. It’s really great as a 2 bus glue.

[@mookiiieeee]

So is bettermaker comp and townhouse comp and shadow hills comp etc lol

[@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY]

These guys are the Hodge Twins of VST plugin reviews LoL

[@dannydaniel8975]

Only, these British guys are a whole lot better at their job and a lot more pleasant than the are..

[@rossjohnmartin]

Tried it and it sounds good but I’ve just discovered the Vertigo sound VCA compressor, not the plugin alliance one but their own version. I really didn’t want to like it as it’s £200 🤣 but it’s blown everything else out of the water ITB for me.

[@user-vn7gl3hd3l]

As a former road crew member, I hold my mixes together with twist ties & duct tape! 🤪 I'll have to try the trial and see if i stick with it!

[@StudioLife101]

Cable ties and duct tape hold the entire live music scene together at even the highest level 😂👍

[@user-vn7gl3hd3l]

@@StudioLife101 I'm hold my sides! not just from laughing but also the SVT cabinets! Enjoyable as always, you found a BX 'Swiss Army knife" plugin you like.

[@alanbrucke]

It's a really good compressor! Only thing I'd rather use is the Unisum by Tone Projects. I'm also not a huge fan of the other plugins in this GUI style, with the exception of bx_clipper, it's pretty good. Anyway good little review guys, I liken this series to the "Before You Buy" series by Gameranx in terms of usefulness, with the added bonus of your snickering humor.

[@StudioLife101]

Bx Clipper is good 👍

[@monkmusic5994]

How does it compare to softube bus processor???

[@StudioLife101]

It's better 👍

[@musicmwmusic]

Are they on form or are they on glue? Find out today at noon :')

[@briansommers905]

Are you guys on X ?

[@StudioLife101]

Twitter? No....insta @studiolife101

[@LuRojas]

It is the SHITE!!!!!

[@Dr-Stu]

Leave the B-52's out of this.

[@StudioLife101]

Never....😂

[@lucasturney4269]

tl;dr? It *is shit... or, at least, shittier than portrayed. - I'm curious how bx_glue gets a pass, despite, on any buss or 2-buss I placed it on that had any even slightly complex low-end in it (lows, not sub-lows,) the lows get weird and lackluster in various flavors depending on where the frequency cut-off is at, with "glue" turning into mush. I don't want to say it's a phase issue, because that's not *quite what it sounds like, but there's something janky in how it handles lows. Seriously, I'm not new to audio *anything, but I can't be the only one who's noticed this. But... ya'know... whatever... it's PA, so the marketing and hype will overshadow this technical issue, just like their recent CPU instabilities everyone tolerates.

[@StudioLife101]

No idea what you're testing it on...but lows sound natural and punchy to me.... This isn't doing anything un-natural or weird in the tests I've done....
