Hello all,

ok. so i need a good stereo compressor. preferebly no super expensive.

these two look lik egood options:
the pendulum electro optical compressor, and the 1969.

and the 2 mic preamp's on the 1969 would be really nice.

but is the pendulum better enough to warrent no getting 2 mic preamp's and a DI for only 250 more?

I'd like my finished PT24 mixes to go through a nice compressor before I mix to analog tape but I can't decide between a pair of distressors or drawmer 1969. I've never used either of these and have only heard great things about them. The goal, of course, is to get that final bit of laquer on a mix, take some of the digital edge off, when going to tape.
