Looking for a new compressor for "home" mastering-So nothing above $2k --so maybe in the price range of $600-1000...an early EMT,Altec,Urei,Orban, dbx all seem to be in that price...on the new front Buzz, Alesis CLX 440, SPL,Dramer_____ maybe wait for a used Avalon 747, Manley, Cranesong,,,probably never in that price range andworking . so whats a poor boy to do?

Is this latest Alesis compressor just a glorified 3630? Anyone had a chance to test this unit?

I'm still in school right now at CDIS, taking the Recording Arts Post Production program, but after January next year, I'll be out of school, and looking to go into business for myself, as well as find work (of course I'll need a job to fund my own studio).

There's now a demo version of "VocAlign" for Soundscape users downloadable from the Soundscape site (http://www.soundscape-digital.com) The Drawmer plugin was released last week, and Spin-Delay before that--looks like they're on a roll!
:D
