The PSP OldTimer comes in two amazing versions of vintage-style compressor plug-ins. The oldTimerME is a high - end compressor perfect for challenging track and group compression, limiting, and mastering. It has advanced features like the option to process left, right, mid, or side channels separately, yet it's easy to set up. The oldTimer is a simple - to - use compressor for track or group compression and limiting, delivering an exceptionally musical sound with minimal tweaking. These plug - ins aren't based on specific hardware but are inspired by vintage circuitry. They offer soft and smooth compression in most cases. When pushed hard with high compression values, the tube emulation might add a slight color to transient sounds. Both versions are part of PSP's Zero Latency Processing series, making them great for live monitoring, live broadcast production, and level management during tracking. System requirements include MacOS 10.10 Yosemite - 12 Monterey, Windows 7 - 11, an Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU, and a free iLok account with iLok License Manager. The plug - in formats are AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3 (all 64 - bit only).
Using the PSP OldTimer is a breeze. First, make sure your system meets the requirements. Install the plug - in using your iLok account and License Manager. For the oldTimerME, if you want to focus on a specific channel like left, right, mid, or side, just select the option in the settings. It's great for detailed work on tracks, groups, or mastering. The oldTimer is super simple; just set it up and it'll give you a great musical sound with very little adjustment. When using, be aware that if you set high compression values, the tube emulation will add a bit of color to the transient sounds. This isn't bad, just something to note. As for maintenance, keep your system software up - to - date to ensure smooth performance of the plug - ins. Also, always back up your projects in case of any unexpected issues.
