The Compressor Plugin I Didn't Know I Needed — Quagliardi BoomBlender Review

BoomBlender is a plugin compressor modeled directly from Quagliardi's own hardware unit, which was inspired by the legendary Urei 1176. It's got that analog character and saturation that's hard to find in most software compressors — and it's surprisingly simple to use without sacrificing depth. This isn't a sponsored video. Quagliardi sent me the plugin to try out — no strings attached, no agreement to make a video. These are my honest thoughts after using it on numerous sessions.
