Dudes, i need some help choosing a hardware compressor.
I already have a 1176 and la2a clones, really nice on vocals, bass, drum buss, but im looking for something for kick and snare. I feel that the 1176 is too fast and would like a slower attack to let the transient through and get some nice smack gratification on snare drum.
Im gasing hard for a distressor, but im looking for something 1000us tops, and would be awesome if it can be for the 500 series since i have an empty slot.
There are really a lot of options here, but since i live in argentina, testing one of these is impossible so it is a blind purchase.
So my optiones are:
Valley people Dynamite
SSL 611dynamic module
Tonelux TX5C
Api 527
great river pwm 501
and the one im feeling the most: xpressor 500 wich is stereo.
no FETs in here obviously becouse they are too fast, looking for VCA style.
The tonelux, xpressor and also the great river offer a lot of nice features (side chain, blend knob, ff/fb selector, and some other goodies)
If anyone can chime in i would love to hear your opinions
Thanks!
