I liked the shorter settings for adding subtle ambience and coloration to rhythmic guitars or percussion instruments. When I used it as a send/return stereo reverb, it sounded big and realistic. When instantiating the reverb on single tracks, you'll get a mono reverb-an old-school reverb in which the track and reverb become a unified sound, a localized point source. This is a present-sounding reverb that worked well in good amounts for electric guitars and keyboards, and in smaller amounts on vocals. You'll hear the built-in pre-delay and how the Size, Pre-Filter and Air parameters affect the reverb's sound. When setting this up and dialing in the reverb parameters, advance the wet/dry to wet to first understand the nature of the reverb. The Scarlett reverb is handy for inserting on individual tracks or for adding more reverb to another reverb. But following it with the Scarlett compressor warmed and fattened it back up nicely. I used both Scarlett EQ and compressor on the lead vocal-a good combo because after rolling out mic proximity with the EQ's Shelf section and brightening with the high-mid sections, the overall sound got thin. On electric guitars, I loved the sound of the factory Tight Limiter preset for dynamically shaping a pushy eighth-note rhythm guitar part to fit better in the song. Two large VU meters accurately reflect the compressor's action, although gain reduction is measured upward-opposite to most gain-reduction meters. Just 2 or 3 dB of compression at 3:1 ratio, 2ms attack time and a 1-second release brought dynamic steadiness to a jumpy performance.

Once the suite was into my Pro Tools HD3 Accel rig on a Mac PPC quad-core running OS 10.4.11, I started with the Scarlett compressor and found it especially smooth on bass guitar.

All four plug-ins have input and output level controls- helpful for dealing with over-recorded 'red' levels-but there are no individual in/out buttons on the EQ for checking the effect of each of the EQ's six sections. The Suite has four processors: an opto-based compressor/limiter a cross-linked dual-mono/stereo gate a 6-band Red 2 and ISA-inspired EQ with filters, two parametric midrange and high/low-shelving EQs and a reverb that uses a classic studio reverb algorithm.
