I love FabFilter Pro-C. They have a demo available.

It has sidechaining capabilities, but I'm on a PC, so I can't vouch for its performance in Logic.

Well I don't think there are any non VST3 compressors that have sidechain. And theres not really any VST3 compressors out yet, and I don't think logic even supports them. So you're basically stuck with logic's compressor for sidechaining AFAIK. Maybe audio units can handle sidechaining, I'm not sure about that.

For colourful compressors, you probably should look at waves ones, or cytomic's the glue compressor for cheap. Its supposedly just as good as the waves one.

Sonalksis are great workhorses are a little bit coloured, so they're good to use for a go-to compressor. Flux's ones are also supposedly really good, for something more transparent. Fabfilter's pro C is also in that category too from what I understand.

of course we're talking about AudioUnits which supports sidechain since its introduction. there are VST2 sidechain compressors also. but they are pain to use in Cubase - that's why there aren't any good commercial ones.

+1 for Pro-C

Stillwell Audio The Rocket and Bombardier. Not 100% if you can sidechain them in Logic, though. You can download demos for them and see. The Softube CL-1B and FET compressors are also pretty awesome as well.

waves all the way. also you could go with the new mobile UAD, 500$ with a 50$ plugin voucher. it's my next purchase as i don't have a computer to stick pci cards into
