Am I wrong to like Slate's VMR and VBC compressors?
Of course not. They're excellent, among the best ITB comps. I also can't disagree with the choices on the list Larry linked to. And I like Clint's list. Point is, there's a boatload of good compressors out there, but the only way to know what's best for you is to try a bunch of them yourself. Some you'll click with -- those that help you get the sound you're after with a minimum of fuss.
Cheers,

"Some you'll click with". That is the real truth in these type lists and other discussions. "I really like the

I like the simple interface. Others say "not accurate take on the DBX", or "not tweekabel enough." Eddie is right, what clicks for you? One thing I really like about this Forum is people can talk about this stuff without some hardcore drama or death threats. I have wondered how someone can feel so strongly about something even though they don't really know much about it. But "if it clicks for you..."
