The more time I spend with Impress3, the more I like it.
My first go-round was on the 2-buss, and I have better options there. But Impress3 really shines on individual tracks. On a pesky, spikey funk guitar track Impress3 way outperformed COMPER and Trackspacer. I also used it on a vocal and was able to tweak the sidechain into some mild de-essing. Also used the sidechain on a synth buss to pull the mids forward a bit.
The sidechain and compression curve shaping options are very useful. It kind of reminds me of the dynamics tool in DaVinci Resolve, which is a tool that I always wanted a VST. I also learned that stretching the plugin vertically improved the usability of both the GR history and the GR bar meters.
I ultimately threw in the towel and bought this one. I've been trying really hard these days to not buy more plugins, but once it was dialed in on a couple of tracks, I didn't want to remove it. It's going to get a lot of use.
