Well, I guess you're right. But, then, some folks like more "evidence" of quality and performance and sound lixiviation before dropping a large wad of pezzutos, like ME.
Summer is still here and there and rain has finally come to West Michigan.
Maybe some folks should find a store that has a good return policy and try one out, because while it's probably worth it, whether or not some folks like it or not is pretty much some folk's opinion, and for $2500 they should listen for themselves.
I can easily get one to try; I was just testing the "waters." Muddy Waters? Nay!
As I read more and more and learn from this board, lots of compression may screw up a good vocal track--amazing, isn't it?
I just did a session a day ago and mixed a few songs--cut off the DAW compression participle and got some good stuff--clear and bright words from the vocalist's pipes.
