### 3/5 — Love It But

*2026-05-09*

The meter is NOT accurate when used in Cubasis 3

### 5/5 — Amazing Comp.

*2025-12-02, version 1.0*

This one is really great 🤠

### 5/5 — 普通に使える

*2025-11-28*

この開発元のアプリは良く歪むので、これもそうかと思っていたが、杞憂だった。1176の実機は知らないが、世間で言われている通りの挙動をする。パラレルコンプやローに反応させないような最近の追加アレンジはないが、CPU消費も少なく、使い易い。

### 5/5 — Does indeed add attack and bite to drums

*2025-08-07*

I wasn’t expecting miracles for such a low price but I got an instant result on first try. It does seem to work like an 1176. I can’t say how close at this stage but on a drum loop I got exactly what I wanted very easily. A crisp attack to the snare and a serious punch to the kick while the hats improved without being squashed flat. Definitely worth the asking price and I am expecting it to be great on individual snares and kicks. Looking forward to trying it on bass guitar too.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-07-17*

I bought this and the L2. Both excellent for an excellent price.  I wish there were a dry/wet control (mix knob for parallel compression), but still I use them a lot.

### 3/5 — Great but…l

*2025-06-22, version 1.0*

Awesome plugin but would love to have some basic presets and also the ability to save custom presets. Make it happen and it’s 5 stars

### 4/5 — Please add all-buttons-in mode!

*2025-06-13*

Sounds excellent - not a transparent compressor (just like its hardware inspiration) but great for squashing peaks and adding some color at the same time, and no need to fiddle with a threshold setting. 

Adding all-buttons-in (arguably the secret weapon mode on the original hardware) would make this perfect!

### 4/5 — Outstanding. Would love to see all-buttons-in mode…
