Dun mean to create bad blood here...just trying to make sense of my spending...which should I get?

Sebatron or LA-610?

Hey I'm looking into getting a mic preamp / compressor (or channel strip) and I'm looking for some thoughts on the following gear.

What are your opinions on these three compressors, and in what capacity are they used in different stages of recording?

Foundry Track Compressor (bundled in with Sonar)

Blockfish (from digitalphishphones)

Endorphin (also from digitalphishphones)

Are their any glaring omissions of popular compressors used for specific purposes?

Thank you!

Howdy,

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to pro audio, but ive been given the task of looking after the techincal aspects of a small community radio station.

I understand the basics, but I'm after some advice on what would be an ideal overall setting for a compressor/limiter which sits behind the transmitter.

hey all

looking at these 2 compressors.

FMR more expensive but i've heard its worth the money. the dbx i hear is no a frills work-horse. will be using either one primarily for tracking though i plan to experiment with mastering in the future.

any opinions, comments suggestions?

thanks!

Hi everyone,

We have a female singing into a Sennheiser wireless headset. The dynamic range is just too much to be on a stationary mic attached to her head.

This is a rock band and has a pretty loud sound. She has some soul on some songs and some songs she sings more backup. Very dynamic range.

I'm assuming this is set up is going to sound way better than PreSonus firepod I've been using. I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with any of these pieces of gear? I did a search, but I couldn't find anything really good. I know I'm going to have to learn how to use Pro Tools, but I've heard it's very user friendly.. so we'll see!

Ive been recording for awhile now and ive been looking for a way to tweak my vocals and clean them up, and make them sound better.

Can a software compressor really have as much 'useful' colouration as any traditional outboard gear? If so, which ones - and how?

ill be buying a firestudio project soon, and i was planning on getting a dual eq and dual compressor for the inserts on ch 1 and 2 on the firestudio. i was thinking of a preamp aswell just to give some different sounds from the preamps in the firestudio, so i looked up some Joemeek stuff. they have a dual compressor and dual eq all in one, i think it could be a preamp too.
