Mixing Night Audio did it..AGAIN! 1st with GreenHAAS and now with their latest innovation, LOLCOMP. To put it simply, LOLCOMP feels like cheating in the best way possible. So much more than a compressor plugin, LOLCOMP is a rather robust plugin with several of Ken Lewis' tried and true signature chains built right under the hood. All you have to do is turn the main center knob and LOLCOMP essentially does the rest. This plugin is the instant "sound goodizer" and vibe box. Of course, it doesn't stop there. In addition to the main dial, there are 5 modes (or chains) to work in that are geared towards different uses (but experiment freely!). For example, use the LOL (smiley face) chain for vocals, the Kangaroo chain (boxing glove) for punchier sounding drums or the Dragon chain (fire) for some serious saturation or distortion processing. The design concept and layout also allows you to quickly toggle between the different modes/chains with ease while encouraging you to stay in a creative workflow. While you're at it, you can also scroll through tons of presets and you're sure to land on something that takes your record to the next level. Clicking on the PARALOL button opens additional parameters you can tweak to your desire. Experiment in sculpting your sound with the Levitate, Mash, Awaken and Oxidate knobs to add extra vibe. As a producer who also mixes, I'm always looking for better tools and more efficient ways of working. I say this with all honesty...this plugin has very quickly become a MUST HAVE tool in my work flow and for this reason I give LOLCOMP a 5-star rating. Do yourself a huuuuge favor and grab yourself a copy of LOLCOMP and you won't be sorry.
