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.

    Love the Glue

    Love using this glue group tracks together or just for traditional compression. Glues the sound seamlessly without altering the phase.
