However SoundToys new emulation of the od Lex PrimeTime is proving surprising useful.

I had the same thought. Though the Fab delay CAN sound warm and organic its forte seems to be dance/electonic.

Just bought the Fab Filter. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for all the input!

First inclination was that it "wasn't doing all that much" until I hit "BYPASS" and heard the difference. It is indeed that transparent. It's working extremely well on a "Rawhide-esque" track. Have a Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor right before it, and couldn't be happier with this combination.

You made me chuckle there because I had the same reaction a few times myself, having to ask, "is it bypassed?" It's awfully damn good at preserving your mix while limiting.

Dive into the styles, too. I'm surprised by the difference each algorithm can make. Transparent is usually good but sometimes Punchy feels best. And Allaround is never bad.
