I love that it can be naked and transparent, but if you want you can really hear the compression. I also love that even when you slam it, the audio still sounds open.”

“My go-to plugins for vocals are almost ALWAYS the Renaissance bundle because the compressor doesn’t have to be driven too hard, and I can count on the EQ being crispy and bright. ”

Cam Blackwood Record Producer and Songwriter

George Ezra, Jack Savoretti, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Tom Walker

“I LOVE this plugin. It’s really simple to use as it only has 3 sliders; gate, comp and gain. I mainly use it to change the overall compression and output volume of my lead vocal channel. If I need a bit more compression/pressure on the vox, I pull the comp slider down, and if I need more or less vocal volume in the track, I use the gain slider to adjust it. It has a slightly ‘honky' sound (in a good way) and brings out the vocal mids, helping to place the vocal in the track. The gate setting is great if I need to lose a bit of headphone/click bleed.”
