      Thanks Edward, yeah they are crushing it! Never disappoints! And this one is a very nice addition, definitely does that CL1B thing!

      I disagree I tried NFuse and compared it to other bus compressors and softube’s bus processor, it ate transients even by engaging it. It did not sound good at all to me. I have tape face but don’t use it that much. Distinct pro had to be emulation of overstayer mas but i compared it to softube overstayer mas and listened to hardware overstayer mas it doesn’t sound and behave like hardware. There are some problems with kiive that i dislike… Maybe it works for some people not for me.

      @@spinlightstudiosI checked out this compressor and compared it to softube’s. I found the tone of kc 1 better compared to cl1b. And oversampling does effect oc. I wonder how close it is to hardware🤔

    I was happy to see a CL1B alternative, but once I tested it I was over the moon. This and the Pulsar P11 Abyss are the only 2 plugin compressors I’ve tried that really nail the transient response of analog compressors. So glad it’s getting this good!

    I'm happy to see Kiive release this, I have the softube version and if there's a "secret sauce" compressor out there, it's this one. Pop it on vocals and it just jumps forward in the mix. Can't wait to try it against the Softube version later, after Nfuse I became a huge fan of Kiive's plugins. Great video, great plugin!

    SOLD !!! Lol. Another great vid, Rhys. Bought it. Added to Drum Bus and Bass Bus. Love this plugin already. It just replaced the Softube Bus Comp that I've been using on my Drum Bus.
    As a newb, I struggle to hear the 'character' of certain compressors that pros talk about. Not with this one (or the Distressor). I love the smack and aggression I'm getting out of it on drums.
    I wonder how many Spinlight subscribers have bought Kiive plugins from your demos alone. I've purchased 5.

    Solid video, despite the confusing (and click-bait-y) title.
    For those curious, it's based off the Tube-Tech CL1B hardware, not the "blue Softube compressor," which some people online seem to think. XD

    • @spinlightstudios
      @spinlightstudios  7 місяців тому

      Yeah that’s right man, the CL1b. I would disagree about the click bait title, just think it’s another awesome option as an Opto compressor to replace the standard la2a!

      @@spinlightstudios I understand working the algorithm with the phrasing, but in this day of the-next-best-thing around every corner, the "Is this the ______ killer?!" is at best tiresome and at worst misleading, as though I can safely toss my other optos out the digital window once I've grabbed this.
      I'm not coming at you claiming intent, mine was a manifestation of the loathing I have for YT's general hyper-focus on marketing over genuine information.
      That said, the ADC1 and FilkChannel are no-brainer go-to's in my arsenal, and I just grabbed the Distinct Pro recently, so I already know I want this-I mean, it's Kiive-I just thought I'd check it out before grabbing the trial. Again, solid video.

      Softube Tone sounds a little better, more open
      Softube Tone and DDMF Magic Death Eye (Mono) pretty much smokes this...LOL
      it seems very skimpy of the stereo image of this plugin being "Wide Enough" thats the mistake they made, Tone and Death Eye sound VERY OPEN
