Hey everyone,
I recently got into the analog world. Coming from vs-2480. Now I have an old Fostex b16. I do mostly my own blues/rock stuff.
I lurked around here and other sites trying to learn about different outboard compressor to get without breaking the bank.
I've acquired a few but am just now getting around to doing some recording on the b16, and believe it or not I haven't really gotten around to trying out any of the compressors yet. Just racked and wired them all up.
That being said, if you were going to record/mix with these compressors which one would you grab for what. I do realize there's know one fits all for each situation, but in general, for drums, bass, guitars, vocals.
Here's what I have:
Rnc
Symetrix 501
Art vla
dbx 166 (blackface, colored knobs)
Ashly sc-50
Thanks
