I use the Live Glue device on returns mostly as it is. Why could it be I don't like Glue as much as expected? I just acquired a different taste with time? Or could this be the reason? Maybe I'm using it in a non beneficial way? Most tracks as well as busses are about -18dBFS RMS, sometimes a little less. Tell me Mr Krafty Kuts has been smoking something weird please. Instead I use about 25 other compressors/Limiters with a handful in each project. I was on the verge of getting Cytomic The Glue in 2013 and as I got it with Live I never investigated this.
