Essential

I use this on my mixbus, together with the Wes Audio Prometheus. I just love the analog, smooth sound coming out of it. Be careful with the THD, though, you'll like it so much that you may overcook the sound.

I chose this one because of the possibility to control it with a plugin, which is so easy to save your settings with the song. Super happy.

P
Ssl style compressor on steroids
PeaKock 01.03.2023
Everyone knows the famous ssl bus compressor. And it's famous for a reason. It has that color we all know, and ofcourse the infamous glue. The dione has all that and more. From blend knob to sidechain features to 2 types of thd. But the definite fame changer is the fact that you can digitally control it like a plugin, which is amazing for recall purposes alone. But also you can externally sidechain like you would with any other plugin, without having to plug in extra cables... just straight from your DAW.
Also the automation possibilities are endless.
Needless to say wes audio dione is a no brainer, like all of their gear honestly
