Wow,
Really great. I tried it with ardour on a drum sample.
Thanks Joe.

By the way,
I've never heard about this SCn. I'm compiling it right now.

I'm skeptical that a plugin, no matter how good, can really model a piece
of vintage gear.  As an example, Universal Audio has a plugin that models
their famous LA3A compressor.  This is a piece of gear that has an almost
mythic standing in the world of analog audio processing, and not without
reason.  I've seen them in use, and it really was a nice compressor.  But
can you get that buttery compression goodness replicated in a digital mode?
I tend to think not.  I believe there's a lot of subtle stuff happening in
the analog compressor that just isn't going to make it into a digital model.
That said, UA's plugin might be very, very good, but is it $149 good?  It
isn't likely to be for me.

More likely they're paying to license the use of the original product's
name and add an aura of authenticity.  If you've ever looked at a Line 6
modeling guitar amp, they'll have names like "Brit" to refer to a model of
a Vox amp.  I imagine some lawyer would get rather testy if they came right
out and labelled the model as "Vox".

I've been really happy with the assortment of LADSPA plugins available.
The SCn compressors are very nice, and I can't see myself getting $149
worth of value out of an official L3A3 compressor plugin.

That's my take, anyway.
