What's your "go-to" compressor?

I've been liking Logic's compressor less and less the more I use it, looking for a nice clean and transparent alternative. Something to just tame the peaks a bit and not add much color.

I have 2 go-to compressors:

Fabfilter Pro-C - for everything and anything; so versatile with the different modes (opto, clean, classic), GUI/display, and m/s & sidechain capabilities.

Cytomic The Glue - this compressor lives on most of my busses

Hmm that Pro-C has quite the reputation. Is it pretty light weight?

Very. Then again, most single-band compressors and EQs are.

+1 for cytomic's the glue. i compress all the things with that.

It seems the ProQ is rated really high as well... maybe I shouldn't be using Logic's channel EQ for everything? Never even thought of using a third party EQ...

Yeah I got the SSL presets for the logic comp. I'm really hoping for something more transparent, like the Waves C1 seems to fit the bill.

Does anybody around here use the waves Fairchild plug-in?
Have been thinking about buying the JJP bundle recently, but am curious to hear some opinions from other users.

Can't vouch for this personally, but it seems to get good reviews & the price is:)


I can vouch for it, I use it mostly for mixing basses and drums though. For leads and pads I love The Glue.
