Does anyone know about the Focusrite blue 230 compressor, and what kind of sound does it give? Is it a gluey sound that brings the mix together, like the Manley stuff, or a punchy sound like the api 2500 or the alan smart c2, or a transparent sound like the Crane Song stc-8, or neither, does it have a sound of its own?

Okay - follow up to my question re: the ELOP.

How about the Focusrite Red 3 as a mastering compressor/limiter? I found one lcoally here that I can get in mint condition for around $1800.

I'm very familiar with the sound of the Red series and I do like it, I just don't like the lack of detents.

Thoughts?

I was looking at the Focusrite Octo-pre with 8 channels of pre-amp and compression for under $1000. Seems almost too good to be true. Does anyone have an opinion of the quality of these units? Thanks. :)

hey everyone,

I am in the market for a new higher end preamp (currently only Twin Track Pro and the Tascam FW-1884 on board pres).

I am looking at the ISA 428, and recently because of all the great feedback, the JML TMP8.

I like the 428 because of the A/D card I can get along w/ 4 great pres..giving me 8 extra inputs in addition to my current 8.

Hi there community
I just got today my Voice Master Pro (sounds really nice for a novice ear! )

the only "compressor" i had it was a Composer Pro (Behringer).

Now i have a very dumb, maybe obvious question, but your opinion really matter for me :

People,

Opinions need. .

I would like some of your views on the [Focusrite Platinum Voicemaster Pro] and the Focusrite Trakmaster.

How do they differ (pres, comp) etc.

Ok, so I have a huge decision to make so I have to apologize for the long winded explanation.

I want a new channel strip pre and I've been thrown a couple different ways.

Okay, I set up the ol' portable studio today, using a lot of equipment for the first time. It went well, except:

My Sebatron vmp 4000e would not send signal into the DigiDesign. I tried everything and it wouldn't work. I let it warm up for MORE than enough time...anyone else have a similar problem with it?

Any advice please. I have narrowed my pre-amp selection down to these two : Focusrite Voice Master Pro or a PreSonus Eureka.

Which would be the better to choose or not to choose and why?
