Hmmm. But then unfortunately you would have to purchase the Alesis De-Nano-izer. Don't mess with the Sha-nano-gins. I do have a Nanoverb that i use for a headphone mix. But I always where a condom.

Ok. I will put it in a way you might better understand. They suck. They are noisy and annoying to use. I have one and the Nanoverb. How's that? On second thought they are great. Wanna buy mine?

You dirty fart Q! I see how you are. You just start sellin the kids. First Mistress ADAT and now more. What's next. You can't sleep at night now that she is gone, can you? I know buddy. That sting will fade. Hang in there. But selling your kids now won't bring her back or help to relieve the pain. When you put that VHS tape in your VCR to record something, you think of her don't you. Better get a DVD bud.



Peace

I have a Nano compressor and it works fine on my stereo mixes. It's very clean and sounds spread out nicely with the right settings. I Have not had many problems with it. I would suggest getting it if you have never had a compressor before. The settings are similar to some of the professional compressor's we use at my school. It's a good tool to use when trying to learn about compression.

I disagree 100%......

And anyways for $100 more he could buy an RNC........

I guess will just have to disagree. You also have to realize if your music isn't clean before you compress it all kinds of noise will be brought to the front of your recording when you do. Also you say you disagreed but you didn't explain why.

[Blue Bear Sound]

I disagree because the Nanocompressor is basically junk...

...if you find it useful, that's great, but the nature of your comments demonstrate your lack of experience with compressors in the first place....!

Lack of Experience with compressors???

Any one who has knowledge about mixing knows that the use of a dynamic effect has to do with a desired taste and creativity. Why would what I said earlier have anything to do with experience. I have used some outboard compressors and some from the console. It just depends on your taste. The guy was simply asking for an opinion. All you can give is that it is junk. As a professional or semi professional engineer if your going to offer advice give a little detail. If you have so much experience with this particular compressor why didn't you explain why you thought the compressor was junk. Simply saying the product is junk is not a good explanation to me. It also doesn't sound like an expierienced one either. I simply told him to give the product a try. It's a good learning tool. It's not the best compressor out but it's not a bad one either.

I'll step in if I may. Maybe it could be that you are not familiar with the many posts on the BBS here pertaining to the inadequacies of the NO-No-Compressor and the NUH-Uh-Verb. Bruce merely reflected back onto what we have all talked about 75,000 times in the past. (I actually don't think that is an exageration). Anyway many of us have and use them for things such as weighing down paper in a stiff studio breeze. Actually I must confess that I use the NUH-uh -Verb for headphone mixes only. I am not proud.

They are noisy, have very little control compared to some of the other comparable units. Also they are half racks which are onyl half as cool. Good luck,

Bruce, make note of this, good pointer.

Chalin, Bruce is a true expert in his field. Trust me, he knows his shit.
I am an expert performer, but not an engineer. The Nano sucks shit bigtime, it is a junkpile. It is shit.

[chalin27]

Hmmm...Let me step back in.

you have only been registered since what Dec 2001. What's that 5 months ago. What type of music to you record? Like I said before it depends on taste and creativity. And just because 8 people on message board say something is bad is basically thier opinion and their taste of how thier music should sound. If you have read post or posted about this before than just ignore the post instead of feeling it with useless info. All your doing is wasting your time and the time of others. I have the compressor so I posted what I thought about it. Let's be professional fellaz. If you think the nanocompressor is junk then fine. I have no beef with that....But don't attack me because I don't think it's junk. No one yet has any spefic thing that would lead someone to believe that the compressor is bad except that it's noisy. Oh and that it's a piece of junk. Being the person I am that doesn't convince me that it's a piece of junk. If your going to tell me something is junk you need to back that up with facts... You can't though because it's your opinion and not a fact.

[chalin27]

David K- I have to disagree there is no such thing as an expert when it comes to mixing. Mixing is a talent. He may be talented... but I don't know... I have never heard anything he has mixed. He may be an expert on the technical side of equipment but to claim he's an expert on how a track should sound through a compressor is a stretch. What sounds warm to him may sound cold & thin to me. I been told that because something doesn't have the bells & whistles doesn't mean it can't accomplished the same job that something that has those can. It's all about what your using it for and what your trying to do in your mix. Also I would like to add that it depends on what style of music your mixing. I mix mainly hip hop.

Sounds like this was directed to me. Not sure where you are going with the Dec 2001 thing. Actually I am only 5 months old and I was registered at birth. Now then. If you read back through my post, you will see that I never mentioned word of you personally other than the reference to your missed readings of previous posts. Therefore, no attack has been made. Quite the opposite, you lashed out at Bruce for his opinion of an ass-tastic piece of gear. The major issue that arises is one of opinion. If you make a posts on this BBS that says "Anyone Use One"? do you truly want people to simply say "NO"? I think your question infers a request for opinion. I just realized why you only have 11 posts after 1.5 years of being on the post. You must know all of the answers, but not want to share them with anyone. Funny you mention being professional in the same post with the Nuh-Uh-Compressor. Anyway, no attack on you, just some observation of your tactics. Though I am always learning when it comes to recording, I consider myself versed in Guitar. If your question pertaining to the type of music that I record pertains to anything useful, let me know and I will be glad to exchange some tunes with you. Game on.

P.S. Uh -Oh... I just listened to some of your tunes on the Website. Gulp.

I have been here since AUGUST 23/2000 under my previous alias "bvaleria..."
...which I used until JANUARY 28/2001 (about a year and a half ago) when I registered under my studio's name.

Not only do you not seem to be very experienced, but you don't seem to be able to read and compute dates correctly!


I can tell you one thing for certain Chalin...
...one day, when you finally start getting "engineering ears", you will hear a good compressor.... and you will remember this thread... and you will be VERY embarrassed....

Bruce

[Blue Bear Sound]

Hmmm... checked your tunes.... you're right about one thing - they DO sound like they were run thru a Nanocompressor........!!!
