Put this EQ Curve in front of your compressor to tighten it up. Curve taken from Acustica Audio Sand Compressor "A".
I was complaining that the SSL Bus Compressor plugin didn’t sound as good as the Acustica Audio Sand Compressor (which is supposed to be sampled from an SSL Bus Compressor), so I did an EQ match with Fab Filter Pro Q3 and put that EQ curve in front of the SSL plugin, voilà, I was not able to tell the difference between the two of them. So I coppied the curve to EQ+ so you all can hear it.
Thank you for explaining your motivations behind this preset.
For those of us who need to learn history to understand what this is all about…
