In reply to Oliver. Oliver You also need to be online while entering your serial key

In reply to Oliver.

Did you type the serial key or paste it ?
If you copy and paste the serial key, make sure you don’t copy any blank space either end of the serial key, otherwise it will be rejected.

I copied and pasted my serial into the plugin… then my iLok app automatically opened and asked me for my iLok details (to be able to register the licence in my iLok account).

Good luck

In reply to Oliver. I just copied the serial number from the pulsar website and pasted it directly into my ilok licence manager. Maybe sign up for another key?

In reply to dgu.

Exactly, you got to the point!
I wrote only a description what it is usefull for what´s the could named as main difference to genuine 1176 comp what offers 3 ratio buttons, attack and release dials.
So not a explanation for pro users or recording engineers ;)

In reply to Richard. Smasher is a emulation of the 1176 in all-button-in mode. It's not mean to sound subtle.

Now the Pulsars Smasher becomes in V1.37 very usable on my system and thickens up the sound better than my dbx 266xs PA hardware shissl 😂 but seriously compared with softubes Fet, Smasher could dialed up, of it´s two knob design, directly more in the face, but it isn´t able to sound as subtle or clean like the softube Fet! Yes it´s useful to compress a stressing snare or tom, drumset recordings with cheap mics in a smashy way, really welcome.

But the installation and needed hdd space is not the big hit with this software, more hdd for licensing stuff than the plug itself needs.

The plug offers a update knob for downloading the latest version not as comfortable as other developers has implemented this function, 8x oversampling switch seems nice for older machines, you could not change the Ratio, at all it looks like a often free offered lite version of Pulsars 1178 Fet machine, maybee different, but a big bo.b for drumshaping!

Sound 10/10
Instalation 5/10
Presets not needed
Usability 10/10
.

For free it´s a nice plug VST3 working stable, much better than x$ offerpriced SSL comp plugs!!!
