I wish Bootsy would make his plugs 64 bit

Well its obvious how it works......
Technically speaking, SlickHDR contains a coupled network of three dynamic processors with two of them running in a "stateful saturation" configuration and one based on look-ahead processing.
Fixed amounts of the unprocessed signal are then injected into the network at several specific points and also mixed back into the networks output. Being networked, all processors are highly interacting with each other and this is utilized to cope with a wide variety of sound (sic!) concerning balancing the audio dynamics.
Now what this all means is......well honestly he lost me after the first line or two and if I'm honest I don't really want to know!
All I want to know is if it makes things sound better!!!!!!!!!
As its from Bootsie I would be really surprised if it didn't
I would also like all his plugs to be 64 bit, although I have to say I have no issues with all his latest stuff - it either works flawlessly on its own or one or two of them I Jbridge and then they work perfectly

So it's a compressor.
Sounds interesting, I'm in.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Yeah, I'm still not to sure about this one. It works, It's huge (the gui)...I don't know if it sounds better though. It will need some testing for sure. I've only messed around with it for about 5 minutes so, It will be interesting to see what everyone thinks about it.

I just downloaded. There is a smaller GUI version in a folder within the download. It takes up less screen real estate. So, I started reading the manual. Not sure if I hear what I should from first use of it. What I found interesting reading is the relation between the three compressors. This is what caught my attention:
P1, P2 and P3 – a deeper understanding
P1 is the fastest processor, increases clarity and is also used to set the overall input level to all
further processing. On the opposite, P2 is the slowest processor and is typically used for overall
signal leveling and to recover P1 from too much load. P3 is finally utilized to round the
signal off. Such polishing/finishing always occurs within SlickHDR but is handed over to
look-ahead processing the more load P3 actually shows. If too much load is induced, clarity
decreases and also the volume drops slightly as a tradeoff.

Sounds like it's meant to be a bus compressor. That's where you'd typically use 2 or more comps in series, the first to shave peaks, the second for "glue". Might work on a vocal bus, too. I'd try it on a reverb bus as well. Maybe on a mellow bass track. Listen for a thicker, fatter, more even sound with softer transients.
Just guessing, for now. Until I get my interface fixed I can only speculate.

Yeah, it sort of does sound like compression in series combined with parallel compression. Interesting stuff.
