I am curious to know why there has been absolutely no discussion at recording.org on chaining multiple compressors in a row for individual tracks on mixdown. Does this mean that nobody is actually doing it?

Anyone had any experience with the FMR compressor? I think its called the RNC.

Thanks.

We covered eq pluginsin the "Sony vs. Pultec" thread, and got good info. HOWEVER, some people who contributed to the thread suggested that they felt the compressor pluginsavailable for Pro Tools are not yet up to snuff. So let's have it! Who is using what and what are the varying opinions on the compressor plugins Anybody had the time to A/B directly against the hardware versions?

Has anyone heard of these? They sound really awesome for $90... It has compression, exciter, surround functions, etc...

Was doing 'cabaret' or Ben Folds Five, style piano today (a synth), LOTS of slammed down hard chords, in a jazzy rock track, the stereo Joemeek (SV3?) I have made a nice round 'crushed' sound..

I also used it on Di bass..

I dunno, I was going to sell it, cause it is 'weird' and not used so often.

Any one digging Joemeek compression?

On what?

Hello... Just want some thoughts here... I have a Panasonic Da-7(pretty clean and transparenent pre's not much color at all.) into Mackie MDR/DP3.0 Setup. RNC compressors and some decent mics SM7's .57's, 4050 etc etc. Looking to put together one good channel of pre and compressor this year.

hi everyone,

I am the lucky owner of a pair of dbx 160VU compressors. It would be lovely to dispose of some more compressors like that for tracking drums.

So in an attempt for trying to find the right "color" of compression for a certain type of vocal "sound", I thought I might ask: Would anyone care and try to attempt explaining the basic character differences between the LA-2A, LA-3A, and 1176LN and what type of instruments vocalists music you'd usually think to try each one on first during a mix?

Thank You for your time in advance.

Ok, I am adding another comp to my room and I wanted your opinions. I will be adding the device mainly for character, smoothness and yes I want the "tube sound" for tracking and mixing mostly midi? My options are LA-2A a VT747 a FATSO or maybe even a Peavey VCL2? My budget is just about 2k. I know they are all tube and the LA-2A is just a single channel and a bit more than 2k.

I read an interview of producer Elliot Scheiner in Electronic Musician who said something I have heard on occassion. I've not tried it because I don't have a vintage compressor but I was wondering how popular this is:
