Just decided to get this since I don't have much else on my to-buy list aside from Fix Phaser and I have no idea if Plugin Alliance is going to do a great sale on the remaining things I need that I only moderately want. CH5 delivers. I think the compressor works just as well as the VLB525 from LSR. What I like is that it doesn't accentuate sibilance. The de-esser also doesn't make anything worse in the event that you still want to kill more sibilance. EQ works well, don't feel like it is difficult to dial in a sound with. The pre-amp seems to make stuff bigger and smoother to an extent. It's not like a lot of other pre-amp plugins where it makes things harsher. I think I get a better sound out of this than the Bx_consoles. But I still use console N for the THD and the analog mode. With these AAX Sknote installs, you have to put the files that end in d, in the \Sknote directory root, like CH5d. Then it disappears once it's installed via opening the plugin in PT. The instructions don't spell that out.
