Chris MillsHello there #BitwigStudio #ElectronicMusic folks!
I've given my AS-1973 FET Compressor preset a thorough re-work and am happy to tell you about it. It has three bands, and it compresses in a manner similar to a #Drawmer1973. It is inspired from some plugins that I tried on Windows, but since moving to #LinuxAudio #MusicProduction I have been building my own versions of things as presets.
As much as possible I try to develop in Bitwig version 4.0. Fans of #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave may also find this a handy tool to use.
You can grab a copy of the preset for free from my website: https://www.ambientspace.com/technical-notes/bitwig-notes/as-1973-fet-compressor
