Hi there

Wondering if I could get some opinions from you good folks. I've decided to get myself a FET compressor for general tracking duties. I decided I would go with either:

- 1176LN
- Purple Audio MC77
- Mohog Audio MoFET76
- Slate Pro Audio Dragon

I would like to welcome CharterOak Acoustic Devices as our newest sponsor here. Its a privilege to have HIGH QUALITY companies like this supporting our community.

I basically love my Langevin DVC, great preamp. But the limiter is the touchiest dang thing and I thought I would beg for advice.

I've never gotten to the point where I can dial in the limiter and and know that it will be just perfect. I love the sound I get if I play with it and watch it like a hawk. But dang it's hard to dial in for different mics and different vocalists.

Similar in principle to a compressor, a limiter is an audio processor that prevents the amplitude of an audio signal from rising above a certain threshold, regardless of what is happening to the amplitude of the source audio. Dynamics below the threshold are more or less unaffected. Certain compressors can in fact function as limiters if their ratio can be set to infinity:1.

Hi,

Happy new year to all of you.

Aloha Guys... Finally putting together a professional studio with some quality gear.

Please give me your opinions on the Best All-In-One Preamp/Compressor/Limiter/Gate For TLM 103.

If it makes any difference, I'm running Sonar 8 Producer with an RME Fireface 800 Interface.

I appreciate all responses given. =)

model 66303 does any one know anything about these . This one shuts down after about 6 seconds.. Im looking for a schem or a tech..

I have an old MXR limiter guitar pedal, the kind with the attached AC cord from the early 80's. I'd like to use it as an insert limiter with pro tools b/c I like the way it sounds on vocal tracks. the problem obviously is that it's wired for instrument level input not +4dbu.

What should I put between pro tools output and the MXR input to step down the voltage?

Thanks.

The mastering limiter I am trying has a look ahead function. What is this function for?
