Slate Digital Monster Goes All Buttons In - Everything Recording

everythingrecording.com

Slate Digital's The Monster is a standout modded compressor that delivers the "All Buttons In" trick with added versatility. While it nails the classic extreme compression sound, it also offers a high-frequency side chain for smoother top-end control and a PUNCH button for better transient definition. The addition of a Hi Pass side chain filter and parallel mix knob enhances its adaptability, making it a powerhouse for dynamic processing. Free and feature-rich, it's a must-try for those seeking creative compression effects, though some might wish for more control over specific parameters.
