“As an owner of a beloved 3630, this is the closest I’ve found to replicating that sought-after French house sidechaining sound out of any plugin I’ve tried. I reach for this whenever I don’t feel like wiring up the old beast and just want to get that same feel in the box.”

“Thirty-Six delivers the vitality, definition, and clean gain I look for as a mastering engineer.”

“When you absolutely slam it, it starts adding a sort of pumping effect that can completely redefine the entire pulse of the track.”
SonofmidiDJ and producer
“Getting the perfect punch out of any drum or percussive element is so effortless and consistent that it feels like magic.”
