AdzOm Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 whats a good hardware compressor to use for live gigz maybe to hook up to a drum machine or synth...? what do u need to look for in a compressor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian_bud_nation Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 its just my opinion, but i think wut u need is a multi purpose unit...for live, a compressor/limiter is favorable, basically a maximizer..however, if u can get hold of some decent plugins your problem is solved...ull probably save a lot of money and space..so yeah, just master your tracks before hand and ure all set...most club set ups have a limiter or compressor on hand so u can use that...but if ure all for outboard gear, then go for it...some compressors ive used in the past include dbx and bss compressors...for the price, they sound alright, but again, id opt for compression and maximizing in the mastering process rather than in a live set up...u have more things to worry about than compression..focus on your performance... just my opinion.. abn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postunder Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 not totally spectacular but does the job at reasonable price. TLA Fat-1 Its a tube comp so if your looking for clean trasistor compresion you might not like it but if you want to like you said fatten a synth or drum machine then ya, it works.

frek Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 if you are gonna get a compressor. pay the extra $$ and get a tube vacuum compressor. warms your sound like liquid passing through hot pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
