So lemme get this straight: you're saying that you'd really, really like to have those sounds available. But you have neither tried to dial them in yourself nor inquired if someone else here has done so and would be willing to share their settings. Hmmm....
So, lemme get this straight. You think I should have tried to dial in the tone, character and response of compressors I don't even have here to compare with?
:?
I'm confused.
So... okay... let me get this straight in my (admittedly, very strange) head.
I'm at Burger King. I ask if they serve a Big Mac. No, they have Whoppers though, which are similar.
In fact, they could probably get close to a Big Mac with the ingredients they have on hand.
I say... how is that possible? There aren't any Big Macs around to compare with!
(Implying that I don't even know what I'm asking for -- after all, how would I know that what they made wasn't a Big Mac if I don't have a Big Mac to compare with, if I need a Big Mac to compare with to be able to tell if what they gave me is a Big Mac?)
guittarzzan, I have no issue with you requesting models of compressors -- by all means, add it to the wish list. However, your current argument in favor of them isn't going well in my eyes. I think you'd do better by arguing that the ingredients are not currently available, and explaining what is needed since so far, the replies have indicated that the included ingredients may in fact be all you need.
If you're arguing the different philosophies of dialing in effects, either via specific modeled gear (Line 6-style) or via flexible generic effect sims (Fractal-style), then state that.
