Maybe you can get better results with your go-to plugin, but this is serious shit. I'm loving the go-to approach of this plug. Just slap it into any vocal track and automatically saves you from dialing the perfect compression. I got a client bitching about vocals not being awesome, and I just slapped this shit on the channels and got him happy in a moment. Now in retrospect I'd say I didn't mix the vocals as I could but this plugin brought them to a next level by just using it. 10/10. I'm sure I can get better tones without it but it's fucking good at it's purpose, so why waste time with something else right now...

Just tried it on the vox I'm tracking atm...really not working for those at all...making the "s", "t", "k" sounds etc stand out in a very unpleasant way....
gonna try it on some more vox though

I don't mean to be rude, but the whole, "it adds room sound/SnapBack echo" is kind of silly. All compressors do this. Take any compressor you own, bring ratio up as high as it will go... Fastest attack, fastest release, and bring threshold down til you get like.. 15-20 db of gain reduction.. And you will hear your room most likely. This is not an "exclusive product" of Joeys plugin, but a natural occurance to all compression when you push them. If you start to slow down the release, you'll get less room.. As the compression is holding out past the reverb tails. Same thing happens when you want big, roomy, drums with intense shell decay and sustain... You crank the ratio, fast attack, fast release and go to town on the threshold until you get a desired gain reduction... This usually works best in parallel compression so you dont kill the attack, but I digress...
Anyway... Will anyone post some examples with the lo-fi switch on? Thanks!

Here I added the clean vocal clip with the LO FI switch engaged.
