Would a dbx 166 or a pair of stereo linked 160a's be a good choice to put between my Groove Tube pre's and the inputs of my RME card? I want something to tame anything particularly hot and be transparent of course.

If not, what would you recommend?

I use a C1 Compressor but I was wondering if their are anymore or better one's to use?

Thanks In Advance!

Has anybody had any experience with the Summit TLA-50? I`m in the marked for a compressor in that pricerange (500-600 USD)... Anything you can recommend that will top the summit?

Thanks...

OK - I finally broke down and bought an RNC based on all the rave reviews in and about this site. I tested the unit out on my Drum Bus - There was an immediate and very noticeable hype in the high-endand the low end all but dissappeared. Anyone else have this same expereience? I know enuf to understanding that different settings will have an effect on freq.

Does anyone know how to route a compressor to the mic preamp's on a traveler ? Come on I Know your out there. I've seen plenty of MOTU users here before. :roll:

I was using the Reason 3.0 Mastering suite last night and I must tell you guys that it is amazing! I don't know if you really need a hardware compressor. I know Reason can't do audio but you can always export a file from a program like Cubase as an audio file and then load it into the Reason sampler and then use the compressor (or M-class mastering suite).

Im looking for a compressor right now, and I just wanted some reviews on some of the Comp's you guy's use. .

My price range is 0-500$
I need a good one

I've heard a lot of different limiters used on the master (Manley being my favorite) but I'd like to know if anyone here is using that same limiter or compressor on let's say drum OH's. This does not by any means have to be a Manley, and under $2500 would be preferable.

-Thanks

I have been using this unit along with a Demeter preamp for about a year. It's killer. Lately, channel A has lots of noise and channel B is fine. Do I need to replace the tubes? Or is it some costlier problem? Does anyone have experience with this unit?

Thanks in advance.

i've been told i need one of these to bring up my RMS levels, cause they've been too low. Anybody know where i can get these and how much they cost? also, which one would you prefer?
