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
