I'm recording with Sonar and I'm using Waves L2 compressor for my vocals. I really like the sound I'm getting, except. I would like to be able to record at a little hotter level without having to worry about clipping. Since I don't have an outboard compressor I have to really dial in my input level so I can record at a decent level, and not clip.

I was recording last night with a new preamp that I built (Telefunken V-72) and I am getting pretty good sounding recordings now using Pro Tools. When I add a compressor using the various plugins that come with Pro Tools LE it seems to me that they are actually degrading the sound and reducing the gain.

All the time when I am mixing I find a use for something like this, but do not own one, nor do I know if one even exists. Imagine putting a compressor plug on a single stereo track and having the comp affect the L and R channels independently of eachother. Does such a plug exist? I am sure that they make devices capable of this, but how about software?

New Plugin Compressor - Old Timer from PSP

Hi, folks

There is a brand new compressor from PSP!.
I had the opportunity to beta-test it with a cool team of folks, design a few presets and now it is the moment for show time!

Here is some info:

Dear user,

^^^^^

Once a week I do the live sound for a jazz cabaret. I previously did not have access to any compressors, and it has been a tad bit of a headache dealing with dymanics between the four singers.

Hi there

I've decided to opt for some outboard compression/limiting. This is due to the odd nasty spike I've gotten here and there on occasion (not that much might I add). However, this has occured on good vocal or guitar takes. As you can imagine, this has been pretty much unresolvablle after the fact leading to fresh takes being required.

model 66303 does any one know anything about these . This one shuts down after about 6 seconds.. Im looking for a schem or a tech..

Hi All,

Hi All,

I had a request by a friend who I will be recording that we record his vocals with a hardware compressor in line before the signal gets sent to the DAW. I'm not exactly sure what the advantage of doing this would be other than his monitor mix would have compression?
Please stop me here if I should just slap on compression in the DAW during tracking.
