Compressor Plugins

http://www.stillwellaudio.com/?page_id=68
http://www.cytomic.com/glue 

Logic 8 Compressor Models:

platinum - slow attack/release... kind of dull. meant for leveling than characterized compression.
class AR - quicker reaction than platinum but still sort of dull.
class AU - super expensive, vintage, analog vibe. fast reacting, but also really musical. probably my favorite and most "reliable" compressor.
VCA - really quick, more sensitive threshold. kind of wild too... in a cool way
FET - thick. great for drums and parallel bussing. it moves quickly but also in a nice, round kind of way.
Opto - fast. drop the threshold down low enough and this this thing sounds like a nuclear shockwave squashing your signal. back off on the speed and its like an LA2A

Golden Age R1 Active Ribbon

Sontronics Sigma or SE R1 Ribbon

Heil Pr30 
TLM 102 <- if it's good enough record randy brecker it is sure good enough for us noobs!


A good bet would be a PR 30 (PR 31 BW and PR 35 are also the same element). You might also look into the PR 20 or 22. We have utility models of the PR 22 UT and the PR 20 UT. The PR 20 UT retails for about $100.
