Hello. I think it's really great to have so much compressors in the pulsar mixers, but I dislike the fact that they are hard knee. Does anyone know a good soft knee compressor for the pulsar that doesn't use too much DSP and is not so expensive as the Vinco?
Thanks!

Now that you mention it, I find only 4 soft knee compressors.
- Sonic Timeworks TW CompressorX, 149$, light on DSP
- STW Soft Mastering Compressor is at 149$ Btw, it uses 4 DSP, just enough to be ran off a Pulsar1. Makes your Pulsar a dream compressor. Sometimes I prefer using this one over Optimaster, depending on the material. I think STW's soft compressor colours a little. It's a warmer, more vintage compression.
- Vinco (which I don't have) 200 Euro
- Optimaster 249 Euro
AFAIK there's no free soft knee compressors, [hint]yet[/hint].
