Can anyone give a good explanation as to the differences between the Behringer Autocom and the Composer? I'm choosing one to buy.

 

[MISTERQCUE]

The MDx2200 Composer pro is the updated version of the Mdx1400 Autocom, a dual channel compresser.
See homerecording.com/ubb/forum26/html/000185.html.

The Autocom has separate IRC expander/gates
with a dynamic enhancer.

 

[jedidiah]

is the dynamic enhancer a good reason to go with the autocom rather than the composer?

 

[MISTERQCUE]

Both boxes are listed as interactive 2-channel Compressor/limiter/expander with
the Autocom utilizing the enhancer as a
additional feature. Can't really tell you which direction to choose but in my opinion if you lose some of the "flavor" of your music via compression I believe the enhancer will widen the spectrum of the sound wave to some sort of degree. This is what some tekkie
told me at Sam Ash Music.

 

[jedidiah]

but the composer has a limiter on each channel, and can't i just tweak in a little high frequency boost on the mixing board instead of the "dynamic enhancer"?

 

[MISTERQCUE]

In theory,that the enhancer is supposed to improve and restore sound color lost due to compression.But,in my opinion it's just another un-needed feature put out by the manufacturer to justify it's price.Like you,
if certain tones are lost via compression or limiting,I just tweak the eq a bit to compensate.
