PSP oldTimer ME
PSP oldTimer ME (Master Edition) installer includes two versions of the oldTimer plug-in:
PSP oldTimerME: a vintage-style compressor designed for demanding track and group compression, limiting and mastering applications.
PSP oldTimer: a vintage-style compressor designed for track or group compression and limiting.
Our goal in developing these plug-ins has been to provide you with versatile compressors that offer detailed control, and an exceptionally musical sound. PSP oldTimer is not based on any specific hardware, but is inspired by vintage circuitry and we designed them to emulate our favorite characteristics of such compressors.
PSP oldTimerME combines advanced features such as the option to process left, right, mid or side channel exclusively while remaining simple to set up.
In the case of PSP oldTimer, our goal was to provide a simple compressor that offers an exceptionally musical sound while requiring minimal tweaking. PSP oldTimer is so simple and so easy to use, that it's difficult to make it sound bad even at the most extreme settings! These compressors offer soft and smooth compression in most applications, however they may slightly color the sound with their tube emulation on transients when heavily driven internally by high compression values.
Both versions of oldTimer are part of our series of Zero Latency Processing plug-ins; making them ideal for situations such as live monitoring, live broadcast production, and managing levels while tracking.

I love it (the PSP oldTimer compressor). Where did you hide the tubes?!!!! PSP is one of the few companies out there who knows how to put real analog character into a plugin and maintain the transparency.
-
The PSP oldTimer gives a musical fullness that is unlike any other compressor I've used. While it can be set to "pump" as a true "old timer", the subtlety of this compressor is that is fills in the music in a way that brings a sweeter or more musical density, (particularly from ratio 1.5 upwards) that makes a different kind of sonic impact from a conventionally squashed track - more subtle, hence more powerful a tool.

Every so often a "must have" plug in comes along - this was certainly true with PSP VintageWarmer and it is with PSP oldTimer whilst it's not based on any vinage or historical models - it reminds me of many I have used,including my own now vintage Summit Audio TLA 100. I have only had PSP oldTimer for a short while but it is already my new favorite compressor for drum room mics and Tom Toms - As a logic pro user it's important that any new plug in doesn't hog all my CPU and it appears to be easy on that front probably the best £50 quid you'll spend this side Xmas!

PSP's oldTimer has a digital brain and an analog soul. Pumps like classic analog but without the grit and loss of high end when pushed. Coloration is just enough to smooth the sound without dulling the edge. It's a terrific new brush for the paint box.
