Background Model

TDR Kotelnikov → Threshold -20dB, Ratio 2:1, Attack 10ms, Release 100ms, gain reduction 2-4dB.

Valhalla Supermassive → Preset: “Pitched Echo” – mix at 20%.

A free setup (CHANNEV → Kotelnikov → Supermassive) can sound 90% like a CLA mix. The missing 10% is the subtle analog nonlinearities you only get from paid hardware emulations—but for demos, YouTube covers, or home studio vocals, the free route is genuinely solid.

Analog Obsession CHANNEV → Compressor: Ratio 8:1, Attack fast (0.5ms), Release auto, gain reduction 3-6dB.
