Any reviews opinions or info on the company would be appreciated.

Are they any good?

My question is...what are some of the best compressors to use for tracking, mixing, or mastering? Out of these compressors which ones are worth buying? Behringer Tube Composer, ART Vla Pro, Avalon, Aphex, Jomeek, Dbx 160's, Focusrites, etc... If I didn't mention some great compressors...please name some :p .

I have access to a restored pair of Altec C322A compressors. Anybody have thoughts on them? I'm not an old Altec guy, so I don't know if these are some of the wildly sought-after models. Any idea what they're worth? Thanks for the help.

Hey all. Quick question: what's the difference between the dbx 160a, 160x and 160xt compressors? I don't own any of them, but I'd like to and it seems the 160x's are the cheapest, followed by the xt's then the a's (on ebay and at used gear shops). I've looked all over the Internet and even on dbx's website, but I can't find any glaring difference.

Anyone have any experience with these compressors?
I'm thinking of getting a pair racked.
Probably the 179-150 or 179-140.

I have a dbx DDP rack compressor/limiter and the Waves NPP compressor. I'm interested in finding out from another point of view, if one had a choice of the 2, which one would be better? I'm setting up to lay a few backup & adlib vocal tracks as well as main vocals too. :confused:

Hello Everyone,
I've always heard that Paul's bass went through a TUBE version of the Altec comp. Maybe a 436 or 438C. Now while looking at page 165 of "the complete Beatles Recording Sessions" I'm seeing what appear to be Altec comps, but they appear closer to the 1591A.

Dbx 266xl compressors how are these things besides being realy cheap

I know Kurt has addressed this, and I know it was recently (within a few months) but I can't find it anywhere. So I can't 'revisit' it.

So, can you guys re-state your preferred chain of events when setting up tracks. Vocal, Guitar, Drums. etc. Or Just Vocals.

ie. signal->compression-eq-reverb
signal->gate-eq-compression-compression-reverb
