Cytomic the glue review3/15/2024 I’ve had some interesting results on drum buses too. I find it to be more transparent than the SSL Buss compressor, which I just can’t stand anymore. The glue is fantastic when used the way it was designed–on a mixbus. Also, a range/mix (finally! parallel compression!) and a sidechain have been added allowing further control over the colouring. Non-linearities have been removed from the original design when they were determined to add nosie or otherwise degrade the sound. The Glue is another true to the original specs recreation of SSL with a few modifications. While I have never touched an SSL in real life, I have plenty of experience with the Waves collection. Interestingly enough my new baby, The Glue, is another SSL clone (a cross between E and G compressors). Lately I’ve been achieving good results with the Waves API 2500 for individual tracks (and it too is a coloured compressor but of a different flavor) but I still need to get my 2-bus fix on. I think I can go elsewhere for my saturation now. The E-channel compressor is very destructive to audio when you hit it hard, and the G-buss compressor is just too coloured for my tastes. I’ve begun to have a falling out with the SSL Waves collection and have been looking around for some new plugins to try out.
