"Color" Compressor
Hi,
First, I'm a huge fan of all of the plugins. Between my own and other systems I've worked on, I have worked with them all. I've been so impressed with them that I've found myself reaching for FabFilter plugins before others in almost every situation. There are now only three areas where I look elsewhere - reverb, metering, and often - "color" or "character" compression. While I would love it if FabFilter would released another compressor (especially one that excels on Bass, Vocals, and Mix Buss duties), I'm sure there are tricks that can be done with the current line up to produce some nice "gluey" results on mixes and smooth/warm results on bass/vox. Any advice? Thanks!

That would be definitely be an interesting addition to our plugin lineup. Unfortunately we can't do everything at the same time. :-)
For now, have you tried combining FabFilter Saturn with Pro-C? Saturn is really good at adding warmth/harmonics to a track.
