Master chain compressor

[obsidian girder]

hey everyone,
I quick compressor talk...

What's your favourite compressor to use in a mastering chain if you use one?
I've been using IK Multimedia T-RackS Bus Compressor for a very long time as that's the one I learnt compression on...
I know there are many many others that are way better suited for a mastering chain but I know very well how this one sounds and thus using it...

I wonna try out another one to mix things up a bit but struggle to find one that seems more interesting than the rest of them on the market so I thought the community here might be able to help me with my choice 🙂

It really depends on what kind of sound you want and whether or not you want any forms of extra distortion to come with it. I personally use Fabfilter Pro C2 when mastering acoustic music, because it has a very transparent sound (just make sure to turn off auto gain when you open it). But it’s probably not a very interesting one. I know Artem showed off some cool ones during his streams, you you could go on YouTube and watch one of his uploaded streams to see a variety of compressor plugins that he uses
