What They Say
As a mastering engineer I was always looking for a compressor that gives me a great sound without making the music sound 'dead' and I found it with the Vertigo VSC-2 plug-in. I also love to use it on drums. It just gives them this perfect edge.
Great on drum bus when g-bus sounds like it’s flattering too much. Vertigo has depth and realism when you want you instruments to breath and you don’t want a compressor that takes away from the source character.
