Hi everyone, I purchased a Neumann U87 microphone (vintage "1980) and Vintech Audio X73i, now I want to counsel,
I want to buy a compressor but do not know what better jump suit in this chain ...
Thinking about
WARM AUDIO WA76, but maybe you have other ideas, not expensive but perfect for this configuration
Thanks

• Which compressor made the most impressive impression on vocals?
• Which 2 would be your top picks

Hi,

Hey Guys,

Im not used to live work so to speak so could do with a bit of advice.

I have recently got involved with a new band doing technical hardcore metal in which we have a vocallist whos voice can be described as nothing but brutal during his screams and angelic when singing.

hello

I'm recording with Sonar and I'm using Waves L2 compressor for my vocals. I really like the sound I'm getting, except. I would like to be able to record at a little hotter level without having to worry about clipping. Since I don't have an outboard compressor I have to really dial in my input level so I can record at a decent level, and not clip.

Once a week I do the live sound for a jazz cabaret. I previously did not have access to any compressors, and it has been a tad bit of a headache dealing with dymanics between the four singers.

I'm recording for myself, vocals and acoustic guitar. It's slow mellow music, with a theory of a deadman type voice.

Wondering what compressor to start with...

I'm planning to purchase:

api512c preamps
Blue blueberry mic for vocals OR Neumann 49 or 67 .
Blue Woodpecker for my acoustic guitar.

now i have to choose a compressor...

My recent signal path for vocal recording is:

RODE NT-1A --> Grace Design m101 --> MOTU 828mkII --> PC Sonar

So you can see,
without any compressor.
Actually, some clipping occurs during tracking, but not always.
I will decrease the gain in m101 to prevent clipping
(it will squeeze the dynamic range, right?)
