Yes. I use it whenever I need its unique sound (dynamic compressing). On of Neodynums good sides is that it does its job with very little latency. I think it worked quite well on direct input electric guitar in my laptop. Although I have not tried it myself, a college keeps telling me that he got a great sound on a recorded acoustic guitar out of Neodynum. From knowing Neodynum I imagine he is right. Another software compressor that may be used with almost no latency (fulfills its job within the plugin working buffer) is the Sonalkis one. It does colors the audio with a "traditional analog tone", but I like that. Sonalkis is the only software compressor I may use for live audio - when host application built-in latency compensation is not active, as it is when audio is first recorded before processed. One good use is to slap a stereo Sonalkis on the host applications master stereo out. When you get the levels right you can "play the mix" by your live audio input (the instrument played through the laptop). But usually I save up computer power by using a hardware compressor after the laptop (but before the PA) instead. My hardware RNC doesn't sound as good as the software Sonalkis, but almost. I too use the PSP VintageWarmer a lot. But in a different way that the two mentioned above. VW colors the sound even more and sometimes you need exactly that. It has a good two band multi compressing option. Can easily destroy music of overused ;-) I never use it for live input streams because of its huge latency. VW can feel "dynamically sloppy" on some audio material, like for example drums, but PSP also offers the MixPressor (part of their MixPack) that is incredibly snappy - on recorded material, lots of latency here.
