Recently dug up a bunch of freeware stuff modeling some staple compressors in audio recording and Im loving the way they sound. really brought my snare to life imo! Any thoughts and critique are welcome as Im in the finial stretch of solidifying this mix and i really wanna nail this

I'll check this out when I get home, I'd be interested to know what the freeware you are using is.

while they are VSTs, they capture the vibe of what each compressors signature kind of sound is i think (the distressor clone is really quick and adds that punch you want on the drums for ex.)

Cool thanks I'll give them a try.

Sounds really good to me, I'd be happy to have my recordings sound this good so I'll be giving these a try. Thanks.

Put an EQ on your master chain and boost the high end to make it a little brighter. If you do that it will sound killer. I would maybe bring up the snare and kick. The snare cuts through sometimes but sometimes it is hidden.

listening back i did realize it was a darker mix and have since added in a shelf. Im also still trying to figure out how to balance that snare/kick punch and getting things loud enough where it isnt gonna noticeably drop in volume between these mixes and something commercial. thank you for the feedback though, i appreciate it!
