Hi friends. I have to be honest that I am asking the same question at the DUC also.

first of all, I would like to have your opinions about compressors. Which one(s) do you think have provided you better results with specific recording/mixing techniques and different instruments and voices.

The "poll" has the following to be voted:
a) Compressor banks from mcDSP
b) Bomb factory LA 2A
c) Bomb factory Fairchild 660
d) Bomb factory 1176
e) Drawmer dynamics
f) Joemeek SC2
g) WavesC1

Recoding/mixing situations:

1) Female Vocal
2) Male Vocal
3) Pop clean Guitars
4) distorted Guitars
5) Hard rock/heavy Guitars
6) Acoustic Guitar > Nylon strings
7) Acoustic guitar > steel strings
8) Pop drums ( individual pieces/drums))
9) Pop drums (stereo drums submixes)
10)Rock drums ( individual pieces)
11)Rock drums ( stereo drums submixes-
12)Bass guitar
13)classical stuff ( cellos, violin, etc)
14)Backing Vocals

In my experience, I have not enjoyed C1's very much. Sometimes even digirack plug compressor sounded better. I know they have renaissence collection also...

I am really enjoying SC2 Joemeek compressor for Vocals and 5 string pop bass guitar.

sorry if this post is too long and boring, but lots of nice things shall arise here.

i just have to say that mCDsp, Waves( except for plugin upgrade policies) and TC works are very nice companies and customer's support is incredible.

Nice weekend
