looking for vst-host with wet/dry feature

[theBlackLOBSTERmurder]

is there a vst host (a vst, that can load other vsts), that has a wet/dry feature?

background: I mostly use a multibandcomp on my final bus, but I think its too overprocessed sounding with it, but I`m not satisfied without it too. so maybe 50/50 would be good...

Why not place the mult on a send? Thats how I do parallel compression on drums.

I dont think its the same thing...

I think Chainer can do it

Multiband Parallel Compression is a very powerful tool, but make sure you have linear phase filters or else things will turn bad very quick. UAD-1 Precision Multiband has a wet/dry control though.

I`ve always been using the cubase multicomp and I have my presets in there, so I dont think I`m switching..

Really? What do you think it is?

Honestly, if it sounds to squashed maybe you should just use less. Rather than mixing the "dry" signal with an overcompressed one.

you should place it on a send to be able to mix the dry/wet signal, it's a common thing to do

but if you insist in using a vst, use the chainer plugin that I've told you

Maybe that's the problem!
Every project is different, you can't use the same preset for everything.
Try other things, try other comps and settings maybe the suggested method (putting it on a send) helps.

There's a bunch of very good freeware out there. You just have to find the one that works for you. The Cubase comp is not the best comp in the whole wide world, it's good but there are alternatives.

Rock on!

Sure it is. Use a pre-fade send and you can adjust the wet/dry levels accordingly.
