Is this a good piece of equipment? Also, how flexable between recording and live? thanks.

do any of you guys use Waves compressors straight to disk while recording vocals. I'm wondering how it sounds? would an outboard compressor sound a lot better? if so... how much am I looking at for a good one?

which Waves compressor do you use?

is there other plugin compressors you like better than Waves?

Thanks,
Mark

Guys,

What would you guys do first? Right now I'm using two RNP/RNC combos and I want to improve the quality of my recordings. I am going to get two X73i's with the power supply, a UA 1176, and an Empirical Labs Distressor...but I only have enough money to get the pre's OR the compressors now. Thank you

Looking for anyone who owns a Joemeek tube comp with eq.
Is this unit classified as a class A unit? is it worth the $$,is it as good as it looks? 8-)

Crowd,

Sorry if this post overlaps others which are similar (some even recently by me), but I need some feedback from the mastering brains on the purchase of a hardware limiter (or compressor/limiter) for my studio.

For me, it's now down to a choice between a plugin /dsp suite (probably UAD-1 Studio) or one of the following hardware pieces:

Hi Guys, ok here's the deal. I already ordered some high quality mic preamps and external analog compressors. I wanted to know if you pros out there add the analog compressors and eq while recording straight into your DAW ? or Do you record the siganl clean then add the compressors later ?

Hey all,

just wondering if anyone uses a urei 7110 comp, or if anyone can tell me what they are like?

obviously the 1176 is killer but havent heard much about the 7110.

any stories would be great!

Thanks,

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking at picking up a decent compressor, mainly for voice work but if I could use it for music too it would be ideal. I was thinking about the FMR RNC, any opinions? Without spending a fortune, does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks!
