Thread: compressor side-chain inputs

Sorry-didn't mean to be personal to anybody at all.
and I'm also sorry for the lack of a "fletcher approved" description(bile).
and my attitude is uncalled for... I understand.
but there was no aggression towardsanybody ;)
as far as being halfassed-that would be the tones that it attempts to inflict upon a sound source.
I know that the stuff is of meticulous construction, and yadda yadda, but the sound doesn't reflect that, to me. ;)

the only one that has personaly attacked is you- fletcher, "**** Your Mother"? is that what you said to me? If I'm not mistaken it was you that has made personal attacks around here.
why would being personal with you be a career move? I don't get it.

Ya know Mike, I don't remember if I told you to go **** your mother or not...but if I did, what are you doing hanging around here? You have an assignment, please complete it to the best of your abilities.

Now, if you'd care to describe what you find to be 'half assed' about the tone of the units, then you'd be a worthwhile contributor to this forum. At the moment, you're just a whining person with limited descriptive abilities. Please give us something useful, or give us a break.

What part of the sound doesn't reflect it's meticulous construction? Do you find that in all the Manley units? Or just a couple of the units?

While I have found the bottom to be rather 'washy' and 'indistinct' on the Vari-Mu in a 2 Bus application, I have found plenty of other uses for the tool on other sounds within a mix. Perhaps you've not tried it in other potential applications?

At the same time that I'm kinda ambivalent about the sonic character of the Vari-MU, the "Massive Passive" is perhaps the most unique and interesting/innovative equalizer to hit the market in the last 20 years. Besides the absolutely huge sonic characteristics, it has functions not found on any other equalizer I have ever seen.

To me...that's a worthwhile accomplishment. Hey nobody is 100% all the time, but you seem to have something personal about Manley equipment. I don't understand it, and you're certainly welcome to your opinion, but when you express that opinion, would you be kind enough to attempt to define or at least describe the sonic characteristics you don't appreciate. Otherwise you're just whining, not helping.
