What the Pros Say:
Cameron Cartee
(2 Chainz, T-Pain, T.I., Travis Scott)
Core Compressor adds a very musical tone and I absolutely love the crush option! This compressor is my new go-to for parallel on drums and 808s.
Albert “Lamont Sincere” Brown
(Motown Records, Cam Wallace, Wiz Khalifa)
Core Comp has the killer glue that brings the mix together. One of the best-sounding compressors I've heard in a long time.
Emily Bowie
(Mix Engineer & Home Studio Educator)
Extremely versatile, it just sounds great on everything. The Body knob allows me to bring in as much fullness as I need, even when I’m heavily compressing.
