Which compressor is the best? And/or which should be the first one I get.
I want the best one for under $3000.
I want all your opinions! Of course those with compressors

What do you think the best VST compressor is? why?

Hi

Besides the obvious...two channels on te veqc200, pre-amp on the Thorax...what are the specific differences between the Compressors on the two units?

Thanks
Mick

Either I live in a hole and didn't know this or its a new product, but I just saw a compressor made by BBE on musiciansfriend.com I have a love/hate relationship with BBE Sonic Maximizers and I'm curious to know if their compressor is nice? Anyone have experience with it?

IF I want to add compression with an outboard compressor post tracking, do I *HAVE* to run the line out of digi002 to the compressor and back into a new track in Protools?

OR is there a way to insert the compressor into the signal chain of the pro tools track and bypass(or not) at will similar to plugins?

Thanks.

I am fairly new to the whole home studio 'thing' but as a musician I have spent plenty of time in Studios. My questions are about compression. I currently have a number of compressor plug in's (UAD-1, Waves, Wave Arts and Focusrite D2/D3) which in many cases attempt to imitate a hardware counterpart. Unfortunately, I do not have the hardware versions handy to make the necessary comparisons.

what is everyones opinion on the best warm compressor.

Why is it when i put audio through a lot of compressors
it gives me like a Milky Creamy Fat sound?

What makes the compressor circuit turn the audio to
the Milk and creame?

I put 4 compressors in series and i got more Milk and Cream
and Thick sound out of the audio but why?

I though compressors just squeezed the sound together?

I need a fairly cheap (under or around $200) 2-channel compressor for Micing a drumset. I will be running my sm57 (snare) and my beta52 (kick) into this compressor then into my e-mu 1820. I'm just now going to start working with compressors because before I used the digital one on Cakewalk. Any suggestions?

Any good suggestions for good comp for hip hop and r&b's drum tracking. i much like SSL comp sound. so i'm not engineer and just producer & track maker. but i always touch it any project.
