FREE PLUGIN QUICK DEMO PART 2 - Fish Fillets "block Fish" Compressor

7/10/2017

Picture
This free compressor plugin is a jewel with added hidden functionality under the hood.

This week we are test driving the "Blockfish" Compressor.  I have used this compressor now for many years on countless projects.  It's not an everyday kind of compressor, but it's definitely a lot of fun and sounds great on a number of sources.  For this demo, we try it on some drum and loop tracks:

This plugin is part of a plugin pack that also includes a killer little de-esser, and a gate/expander.  The above demo was done with a Windows 10 machine.  Reaper is the DAW. There is a Mac version, but it's only compiled for older PPC based Macs.  The pack can be found here (along with some other cool plugins as well).
