Would LOVE a mix knob on the CLA compressors. Every other Plugin company offers this now as standard. ---

Just run you CLA instance in Studiorack, done! ---

Yeah there is that. It’s functional, you could even do a custom sidechain for it. It just doesn’t look as elegant as if it were simply added to the plugin itself, though. ---

I’m in super rack. No studiorack support yet. ---

Yeah, what is it with that?? Or at least they could have made SuperRack specific version of StudioRack. Who knows, maybe they will. Maybe it’s on its way. Either way, a Mix knob on all compressors would certainly be a more ideal solution. ---

I would also love the mix knob for internal parallel compression. Also, the CLA compressors would benefit from a selectable automatic-makup gain option like H-Comp provides. This would take the plugins away from their purist approach, but for me it only comes down to realistic processing in a 100% wet state. Any other functionality is just for unlimited creativity in the box, which should be as easily accessible as possible. ---

Sidechains on all their compressors wouldn’t go astray either!! ---

What DAW are you using? I assumed all modern DAWs have a per plugin mix knob. FL Studio and Reaper both have that. Would that suffice? Or do you get phase/timing issues when you do it that way? ---

Logic doesn’t, not yet anyway.
