Thanks to the person..... sonic timeworks !

I have the same problem with the S.T. Mastering Compressor - it's great for the snare but it murders my high tom if I push it. I think it might be that it likes everything to already be squashed a bit, and I tend not to use much compression on individual parts - if I compress the drums a bit more before hand it's not as bad.

Machinated: I just got the Kjaerhus demo actually, I'm just digging about to find some stuff to try it on.

I don't think the ST Mastering Compressor holds anything over Voxengo's Elephant. The ST MC distorts too easily and readily..
