I was mixing a bluesband and the drummer wasn't very consistent, but I wasn't liking the Behringer Composer C/L on kick and snare, nor was the DBX any good, or the Alesis 3630, or a number of other C/L's.
So I plugged an old Alesis Microlimiter in and there it was, a very tight kick and an awesome snare.
These older Microlimiters suffer a little from hiss, but this cheap little thingie can do a great job sometimes.
The Microlimiter (from the late eighties) is a stereo compressor/limiter and cannot cost more than between 10 and 50 bucks
