Not just for vocals!

I originally bought this for metal vocals and I get good results in that avenue. HOWEVER, I have been using this plugin on my guitars and bass for a while now. The results are stellar! I use it on the DI to level it out, add some smooth saturation, then knock out some of the unwanted harshness from higher strings with the sibilance knob. It has seriously changed my game in terms of guitar and bass tones. It also works on drum rooms and overheads, as well as any snare you find to be particularly ear-grating anywhere between the 3k-10k range.

If you think this plugin is just for vocals, you are WRONG. Dead wrong. This improves anything it touches.

Fantastic!

I'm a rapper who bought this in hopes that it would help and I was right! It has de breaths, a noise gate and and de esser features. it honestly rocks and I use this on all my vocal stem's then use the Howard Benson vocals on the main vocal buses and they sound just incredible together. My genre is not regular hip hop it is rock rap so compression is light on the stems bit it's not just the compression I use it's the other features that this epic plugin does that I love! The detection with shift and double click that allows the plugin to pick the right input level and the body and clarity buttons also!
Simple and perfect sounding !

The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because in studio one 4 pro my plugin shows up really small and the knobs are not it the right place to turn them with the mouse so you've to hover around waiting on the sweet spot to show up to use the knobs properly.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon!
Thanks so much jst for the awesome plugin and also Howard Benson vocals is worth picking up too that's awesome too!

Expected a gimmick but got QUALITY!

I have to be honest, I half expected this plugin to only be hiding under a pretty mask and not actually be something I would find useful but man was I wrong!
I’ve never found dialling one a slammin’ vocal easier than when I loaded this onto my chain.
If you mix and/or record vocals, but this immediately!

Go To Vocal Chain!

GR2 takes everything I loved about Gain Reduction Deluxe to the next level. With GR2 I've sped up mixes for clients so much and they really love the in your face sound it provides. I love how simple it is to use and instantly makes every vocal it's on better.
