**Compressor**

[DEREK KADAFI]

what is a good compressor for vocals?

 

[mo-x]

software or hardware? software, I like the Rennisance compressor from Waves, or the Timeworks CompressorX... hardware, the Avalon can't be fucked with.

FMR Audio RNC...

As of late I've been going to a studio that uses the *Distressor* and I can honestley say its as good as everybody claims it to be. Makes me want one even more. Even on very high compression settings, its sounds well... almost perfect.

For those on a budget the RNC like moe said cannot be beat for the price.

when tracking with plug in compressors you run the risk of overloading the A-D. if you require hardware look into dbx (266,166,160,1066 and 1046). are you looking for TUBE compression? im assuming this is for a home studio so i wont tell you to get something that costs $2000-$1,673,873.46

stay away from the alesis 3630

Shit, when I leave from that lab, and come home to mine, I get depressed too lmao...

For real though, it does make a huge difference, I never try to comment on anything that I haven't heard ( unless I trust the source it comes from ) but this thing is just the shit.

if you're going to buy something once, buy it right the first time. buy that avalon compressor and if you can't afford that, then buy a DBX or bootleg the waves plugs and use RCOMP...

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

man, you're confused...

buy the Empirical Labs Distressor with british mod, or Crane Song Tracker or the vintage DBX 160 VU, or La-2a etc(not avalon) all run over a G...far better then avalon

if you cannot afford that purchase a Summit TLa-50 or FMR Audio RNC...

 

[mo-x]

you wouldn't happen to have samples of vocals that have been compressed with those would you? i've heard the avalon sound and i think it's top notch, but I would love to hear those as well!! let me know wassup young moe..

Look for the ARKANGELZ cd coming soon feat Lynch, Loki, COS, Beta, Sinn and Ne7es of A.O.D plus more... All vocals were compressed by the distressor. Mic's used mostley U-87 and M-147, thru a soundworkshop series 34 ( I think??? ) borard.
